Start-up fund for Alejandra: reopening a sewing studio after the demolition of the market

For four years I have run a sewing studio in Guadalupe. In May, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 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 $450 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $130 • Initial stock: fabric: $210 • Shop repairs and licensing: $110 I hope life is good to you.
