For four years I have run a sewing studio in Lucknow. In March, the demolition of the market took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $260
• Initial stock: fabric: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $55
I hope life is good to you.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from San Francisco.
So sorry you're going through this, Ananya. Hope this works out for you
Thinking of you, Ananya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
