For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Noida. In April, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $550 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $410
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Lalitpur.
Rooting for you, Amol. Hope the shop reopens soon.
