Rebecca needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
A sewing studio in Fresno needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after floodwater.

For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Fresno. In May, floodwater 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 $1,750 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $360
• Working capital for the first month: $740
• Shop repairs and licensing: $650
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck, Rebecca. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
You're not alone, Rebecca. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Fresno
Take care, Rebecca. Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
