Tejal has run a tailoring shop for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Jabalpur. 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $65
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $250
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
