A sewing studio in Howrah needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a long illness and repossession.

For nine years I have run a sewing studio in Howrah. In May, 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $370
• Initial stock: fabric: $45
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $130
I hope life is good to you.
