Back to business - Kajal's comeback in Prayagraj
A tailoring shop in Prayagraj needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇮🇳 Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India1,053 views
For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Prayagraj. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $185
With deep gratitude,
Kajal
