Srinivas needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio

Srinivas has run a sewing studio for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Mumbai. In August, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $600 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $410 • Initial stock: fabric: $105 • Shop repairs and licensing: $40 • Working capital for the first month: $45 Every share and every dollar helps.

    sending love. Hope the shop reopens soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
