For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Khulna. In August, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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: $185
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you. Small businesses are the heart of Khulna. Hope you're open again soon
Stay strong, Shahana. Hope the shop reopens soon. Love from Makati.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone, Shahana. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Ciudad de México!
this could happen to any of us. Love from Nagpur
