For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Narayanganj. In December, a break-in took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $200 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $30
• Working capital for the first month: $70
If you're reading this, thank you.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Narayanganj
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about initial stock: fabric, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
Good luck, Maliha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
