Start-up fund for Marcin: reopening a tailoring shop after the demolition of the market
Marcin has run a tailoring shop for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $750 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Katowice. In February, the demolition of the market 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 1 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $410
• Working capital for the first month: $210
• Shop repairs and licensing: $130
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
