Imad needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
Imad has run a sewing studio for six years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $200 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a sewing studio in Mansoura. In August, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $200 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Imad. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Seongnam.
