For six years I have run a sewing studio in Akron. In December, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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:
• Working capital for the first month: $660
• Shop repairs and licensing: $280
• Initial stock: fabric: $310
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Vitória da Conquista but we're thinking of you
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Pune.
stay strong, Yolanda. Hope you get there. Love from Los Angeles.
Thinking of you and your family, Yolanda. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
