Isaac needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
A sewing studio in Fresno needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a break-in.

For four years I have run a sewing studio in Fresno. In August, a break-in took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, 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 $2,900 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,650
• Initial stock: fabric: $380
• Shop repairs and licensing: $420
• Working capital for the first month: $450
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
