Peshawar
For three years I have run a sewing studio in Peshawar. In October, 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $350 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $270 • Shop repairs and licensing: $35 • Initial stock: fabric: $45 Thanks for being kind about this.

      sending good thoughts, Iqra. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
