Start-up fund for Esteban: reopening a sewing studio after a fire in the building
A sewing studio in Barcelona needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a fire in the building.

For six years I have run a sewing studio in Barcelona. In May, a fire in the building 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,050 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $530
• Shop repairs and licensing: $180
• Working capital for the first month: $340
Thank you for reading my story.
