Start-up fund for Susana: reopening a sewing studio after a storm that collapsed the roof
Susana has run a sewing studio for six years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $950 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a sewing studio in Córdoba. In December, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 7 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 $950 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $210
• Working capital for the first month: $175
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $565
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Susana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Susana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Sydney.
