For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Rajshahi. In April, a break-in took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $230
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you, Sohel. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 9 people at work. Thinking of Rajshahi
Hope things get better soon, Sohel. Hope the shop reopens soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
