For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Kathmandu. In July, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 a cutting table and overlocker: $320
• Initial stock: fabric: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Dinesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
