Hussain lost three industrial sewing machines to the demolition of the market and needs $450 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Abbottabad. In September, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $260
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $50
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Hussain. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 12 people at work.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Abbottabad
