Back to business - Haritha's comeback in Mumbai
Haritha lost a cutting table and overlocker to floodwater and needs $500 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India368 views
For six years I have run a sewing studio in Mumbai. In May, floodwater 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 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $340
• Initial stock: fabric: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
