Back to business - Shoaib's comeback in Hyderabad
A tailoring shop in Hyderabad needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a break-in.

For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Hyderabad. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 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 $150 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.

How is Shoaib doing now?
Rooting for you, Shoaib. Hope you make a strong comeback. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you peace. Small businesses are the heart of Hyderabad. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
