Start-up fund for Fatema: reopening a tailoring shop after a fire in the building
A tailoring shop in Newport needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a fire in the building.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom901 views
For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Newport. In June, a fire in the building took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,000
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $430
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
