Parvathi has run a tailoring shop for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $200 will put it back on its feet.

Saket
For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Saket. In August, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. 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 3 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 $200 goes: • Initial stock: fabric and thread: $75 • Working capital for the first month: $55 • Shop repairs and licensing: $70 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Parvathi

    Hang in there, Parvathi. Gave what I could, wish it was more.

      Good luck, Parvathi. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Saket
