Madrid
For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Madrid. In August, a break-in took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 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 $2,550 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $340 • Initial stock: fabric: $340 • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,870 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ricardo
