For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Chennai. In August, the demolition of the market 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 5 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 $200 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best, Isha. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 29 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Leicester so I could bring a meal
