Back to business - Sabina's comeback in Chattogram
Sabina lost a cutting table and overlocker to floodwater and needs $400 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.

For six years I have run a sewing studio in Chattogram. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $240
• Initial stock: fabric: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $35
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you peace. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My husband and I read this together.

Take care, Sabina. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Sabina. This could happen to any of us.
