Start-up fund for Bella: reopening a sewing studio after the demolition of the market
A sewing studio in Sheffield needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after the demolition of the market.

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Sheffield. In July, 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 10 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 $1,750 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,150
• Working capital for the first month: $350
• Shop repairs and licensing: $250
With deep gratitude,
Bella
