Start-up fund for Fatima: reopening a tailoring shop after a storm that collapsed the roof
A tailoring shop in Multan needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Multan. In July, 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 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 $200 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $80
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
Thank you so much.
