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. - Taghreed

    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
