Help Afshan restart a sewing studio in Lahore after a break-in
Afshan lost a cutting table and overlocker to a break-in and needs $350 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan983 views
For six years I have run a sewing studio in Lahore. In June, a break-in took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $230
• Initial stock: fabric: $45
• Shop repairs and licensing: $25
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out, Afshan. Hope you get there. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Afshan. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from São Paulo
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
