Back to business - Varsha's comeback in Rohini
Varsha lost a cutting table and overlocker to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $650 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.
🇮🇳 Rohini, Delhi, India993 views
For four years I have run a sewing studio in Rohini. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $390
• Initial stock: fabric: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $80
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

How is Varsha doing now?
Take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My husband and I read this together.
keep going, Varsha. Shared this with my family.
Thinking of you and your family, Varsha. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 13 people at work.
hope things get better soon, Varsha. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
