Help Krishna restart a tailoring shop in Mumbai after a long illness and repossession
A tailoring shop in Mumbai needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a long illness and repossession.

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Mumbai. In July, a long illness and repossession took three industrial sewing machines. 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 10 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 three industrial sewing machines: $380
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $50
With deep gratitude,
Krishna

so sorry you're going through this, Krishna. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Auckland.
Thinking of you and your family, Krishna. Small businesses are the heart of Mumbai. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Nairobi.
