Shreya needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
A sewing studio in Salem needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a break-in.
🇮🇳 Salem, Tamil Nadu, India736 views
For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Salem. In November, a break-in took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $270
• Initial stock: fabric: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

keep going, Shreya. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Oakland.
so sorry you're going through this. Small businesses are the heart of Salem. Hope you're open again soon. Sent it to 25 people at work.
