For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Leeds. In January, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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 $3,350 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $2,200
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $450
• Shop repairs and licensing: $490
• Working capital for the first month: $210
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 12 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Gwagwalada
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Cairo.
