For four years I have run a sewing studio in Heliopolis. In March, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Initial stock: fabric: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Rajshahi
Best of luck, Nasser. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope it all works out. Hope you make a strong comeback. Put this on a community board in Ibadan this morning. Thinking of Heliopolis.
