Hubballi
For three years I have run a sewing studio in Hubballi. In November, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 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 $800 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $490 • Initial stock: fabric: $105 • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Working capital for the first month: $145 Thanks for reading all this. - Mukesh

Updates from Mukesh

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 83% funded and I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month.

  2. Quick update: $312 raised so far (39%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($162). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

      Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Negombo so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Hubballi.
