Back to business - Shivam's comeback in Thane
Shivam has run a sewing studio for three years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a sewing studio in Thane. In July, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $130
• Initial stock: fabric: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Cần Thơ donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from București.
