Start-up fund for Luna: reopening a tailoring shop after floodwater
A tailoring shop in Red Deer needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after floodwater.
🇨🇦 Red Deer, Alberta, Canada1,047 views
For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Red Deer. In December, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $3,050 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $520
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,850
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $680
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
