For nine years I have run a sewing studio in New Delhi. In January, a long illness and repossession took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $500 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $280
• Initial stock: fabric: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $90
Thanks for reading all this.

so sorry you're going through this. Hope the shop reopens soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Rashmi. This could happen to any of us. Love from Belfast
