Start-up fund for Kunal: reopening a tailoring shop after a break-in
Kunal lost three industrial sewing machines to a break-in and needs $650 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.
🇮🇳 Delhi, India880 views
For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Dwarka. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $380
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $75
If you're reading this, thank you.
