Nora needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Nora lost three industrial sewing machines to floodwater and needs $2,350 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.

For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Columbus. In June, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,400
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $300
• Shop repairs and licensing: $360
• Working capital for the first month: $290
With deep gratitude,
Nora
