Pranav lost a cutting table and overlocker to a break-in and needs $450 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.

For six years I have run a sewing studio in Saket. In August, a break-in 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $220
• Initial stock: fabric: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Thank you so much.

Take care, Pranav. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
