Stefania has run a sewing studio for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $3,350 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Palermo. In March, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $3,350 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $2,250
• Initial stock: fabric: $260
• Shop repairs and licensing: $330
• Working capital for the first month: $510
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
