For three years I have run a sewing studio in Alexandria. In October, 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 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $180
• Initial stock: fabric: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Rania
Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
