Rina needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Rina has run a tailoring shop for six years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Cox's Bazar. In February, a storm that collapsed the roof took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $550 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $40
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $405
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
