For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Chicago. In July, a long illness and repossession took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $330
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $590
• Shop repairs and licensing: $430
With deep gratitude,
Wyatt

Best of luck, Wyatt. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
