For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Mumbai. In April, floodwater 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 3 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 $250 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $65 • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $80 • Working capital for the first month: $105 Thanks for reading all this.
