Santos

For six years I have run a sewing studio in Santos. In February, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,150 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $850 • Initial stock: fabric: $135 • Shop repairs and licensing: $70 • Working capital for the first month: $95 Glad we found this place.

thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
