Start-up fund for Jocelyn: reopening a sewing studio after a long illness and repossession
A sewing studio in Bronx needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.

For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Bronx. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 3 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 $2,200 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,500
• Shop repairs and licensing: $300
• Initial stock: fabric: $400
Thank you for reading my story.
