Back to business - Khalid's comeback in Lahore
A sewing studio in Lahore needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan1,307 views
For three years I have run a sewing studio in Lahore. In July, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $310
• Initial stock: fabric: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Every share and every dollar helps.
