Cox's Bazar
For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Cox's Bazar. In March, 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 2 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $500 goes: โ€ข Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $370 โ€ข Initial stock: fabric: $75 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $40 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $15 With deep gratitude, Asif
