Back to business - Lokesh's comeback in Pune
A tailoring shop in Pune needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India1,107 views
For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Pune. In April, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $230
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Lokesh. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

Hang in there, Lokesh. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Pune.
Sending strength, Lokesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
Take care, Lokesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Rabat.
