Ananya needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
Ananya has run a sewing studio for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Nagpur. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $440
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Initial stock: fabric: $110
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Ananya
