Help Shaista restart a tailoring shop in Faisalabad after a fire in the building
Shaista has run a tailoring shop for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Faisalabad. In July, a fire in the building took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $200
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $25
• Working capital for the first month: $35
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Shaista. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
