Brooklyn
For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Brooklyn. In June, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 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 $4,050 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $3,100 • Initial stock: fabric: $600 • Working capital for the first month: $350 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
