Back to business - Kiara's comeback in Rohini
A sewing studio in Rohini needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after floodwater.

For six years I have run a sewing studio in Rohini. In July, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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.
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: $340
• Initial stock: fabric: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.

Keep going, Kiara. 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. Thinking of Rohini.
