A sewing studio in Dwarka needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.

For four years I have run a sewing studio in Dwarka. In July, 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 Monday, 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.
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: $95
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $330
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Sowmya. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
