For three years I have run a sewing studio in Malmö. In October, 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 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 $2,600 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,050
• Initial stock: fabric: $790
• Shop repairs and licensing: $330
• Working capital for the first month: $430
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Rolf. Small businesses are the heart of Malmö. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
How is Rolf doing now?
Thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rolf.
Good luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Fresno
Sending love, Rolf. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Malmö!
