Back to business - Noreen's comeback in Hyderabad
A sewing studio in Hyderabad needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after the demolition of the market.
🇵🇰 Hyderabad, Sindh, PakistanPosted Oct 1, 2026895 views
For four years I have run a sewing studio in Hyderabad. In September, the demolition of the market took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, 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 $250 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $120
• Initial stock: fabric: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $25
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Noreen
Small update. $125 so far, I made the first payment toward replacing a cutting table and overlocker.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($150 in total) I made the first payment toward replacing a cutting table and overlocker. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $170 raised so far (68%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Sending strength, Noreen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
