Help Shilpa restart a tailoring shop in Mysuru after floodwater
Shilpa lost three industrial sewing machines to floodwater and needs $500 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.
🇮🇳 Mysuru, Karnataka, India132 views
For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Mysuru. In August, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $500 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $145
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
