Back to business - Ayaan's comeback in Mumbai
Ayaan lost three industrial sewing machines to a break-in and needs $500 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Mumbai. In October, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $280
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $75
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Ayaan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 34 people at work.
Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Bhopal.
thinking of you, Ayaan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Keep going, Ayaan. Hope this works out for you.
