Prince needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
Prince has run a sewing studio for twelve years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $800 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Obuasi. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $530
• Initial stock: fabric: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Thanks for being kind about this.
