For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Aurangabad. 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 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 $300 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $130
• Working capital for the first month: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Nisha. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Nisha. Shared it with a few friends. After 27 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Kozhikode.
