For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in São Paulo. In May, 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 Wednesday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $780
• Initial stock: fabric: $240
• Shop repairs and licensing: $145
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
