Renu needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Renu lost three industrial sewing machines to a long illness and repossession and needs $350 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.
🇳🇵 Lalitpur, Bagmati, Nepal531 views
For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Lalitpur. In June, a long illness and repossession took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, 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 $350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $195
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Renu.
Shop repairs and licensing is $75 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Tokyo donated after I showed her your page
Best of luck, Renu. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Mekelle
how is Renu doing now?
Good luck, Renu. I hope things turn around soon.
You're not alone, Renu. Hope you get there. Blessings
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Renu?
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Spanish Town.
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Sending strength, Renu. Hope you get there. Love from Mapo!
Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Contagem.
Small businesses are the heart of Lalitpur. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in San Jose this morning
Hope the shop reopens soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from León.
