For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Córdoba. In February, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. 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 12 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 $400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $125
• Initial stock: fabric: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $170
If you're reading this, thank you.

a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Córdoba. I'll ask around and let you know.
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. After 28 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
is there anything that isn't money that would help Inés?
Thank you. If you're in Córdoba I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together!
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Christchurch but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Mobile.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. After 13 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Inés. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
wishing you peace, Inés. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Córdoba.
