Start-up fund for Sajib: reopening a tailoring shop after a break-in
Sajib lost three industrial sewing machines to a break-in and needs $300 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.
🇧🇩 Khulna, Khulna, Bangladesh970 views
For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Khulna. In April, 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 Friday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $125
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Sajib. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Kharkiv.
Stay strong, Sajib. Small businesses are the heart of Khulna. Hope you're open again soon
You're not alone, Sajib. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
good luck. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

Thinking of you, Sajib. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

Shared this with my family. Love from Phuket.

Hang in there, Sajib. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from London
