Nusrat lost a cutting table and overlocker to the demolition of the market and needs $400 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.

For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Dwarka. In June, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $160
• Initial stock: fabric: $40
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $125
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
