For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Coyoacán. In July, the demolition of the market took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,300 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $780
• Initial stock: fabric: $165
• Shop repairs and licensing: $170
• Working capital for the first month: $185
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Bengaluru.
Take care, Susana. This could happen to any of us.
so sorry you're going through this, Susana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Small businesses are the heart of Coyoacán. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Sending love, Susana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Peoria.
