Help Kiran restart a sewing studio in Rawalpindi after a long illness and repossession
A sewing studio in Rawalpindi needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.
🇵🇰 Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan1,251 views
For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Rawalpindi. In August, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $400
• Initial stock: fabric: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $30
I hope life is good to you.
