Back to business - Keerthana's comeback in Pune

Pune
For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Pune. In January, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. 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 4 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 $650 goes: • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $340 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $115 • Shop repairs and licensing: $105 • Working capital for the first month: $90 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Keerthana

    Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Pune
