Start-up fund for Henry: reopening a tailoring shop after floodwater
A tailoring shop in Spokane needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after floodwater.
🇺🇸 Spokane, Washington, United States1,231 views
For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Spokane. In May, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,600 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $620
• Shop repairs and licensing: $320
• Working capital for the first month: $660
