Nikhil needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Chennai. 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 Monday, and I employed 1 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $400 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $65 • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $230 • Working capital for the first month: $105 Thank you so much.
