Kavitha needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
Kavitha has run a sewing studio for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Thane. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $360
• Initial stock: fabric: $140
• Shop repairs and licensing: $110
• Working capital for the first month: $90
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hope the shop reopens soon. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Thane
Hope it all works out, Kavitha. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Surabaya.
