Back to business - Yasir's comeback in Lahore

A tailoring shop in Lahore needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after the demolition of the market.

Lahore
For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Lahore. In June, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $150 goes: • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $65 • Working capital for the first month: $55 • Shop repairs and licensing: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
