Start-up fund for Jordan: reopening a sewing studio after floodwater
A sewing studio in New York needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after floodwater.
🇺🇸 United States862 views
For four years I have run a sewing studio in New York. In May, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 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 $3,450 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $780
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $2,100
• Working capital for the first month: $570
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Stay strong, Jordan. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of New York
