For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Munich. In January, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,250 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,300
• Initial stock: fabric: $340
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $370
Thank you so much.
Updates from Horst
Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($80). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

Good luck, Horst. Looking forward to the next update
Keep going, Horst. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My husband and I read this together
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. Take care
