Kraków

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Kraków. In February, the demolition of the market 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 3 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $800 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $240 • Shop repairs and licensing: $280 • Initial stock: fabric: $280 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
