Help Aleena restart a tailoring shop in Multan after a fire in the building
A tailoring shop in Multan needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a fire in the building.
🇵🇰 Multan, Punjab, Pakistan1,908 views
For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Multan. In December, a fire in the building 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 12 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 $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $160
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Aleena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best!
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Quetta
