Back to business - Girish's comeback in Rohini
A tailoring shop in Rohini needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after floodwater.
🇮🇳 Rohini, Delhi, India1,730 views
For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Rohini. In April, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $300
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Girish. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Jacksonville.
Sending love, Girish. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings!
shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Love from Embakasi.
