For four years I have run a sewing studio in Aurangabad. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $500 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $340
• Working capital for the first month: $105
If you're reading this, thank you.

Wishing you peace, Neha. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Neha. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Stay strong, Neha. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Stay strong, Neha. It takes guts to ask. Well done!
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Blessings
