Back to business - Asif's comeback in Lucknow

For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Lucknow. In July, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $400 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $45 • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $260 • Initial stock: fabric: $95 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
