Help Zeynep restart a tailoring shop in Essen after floodwater
Zeynep has run a tailoring shop for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $3,350 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Essen. In April, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $300
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $2,750
• Shop repairs and licensing: $300
