Suresh needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
A sewing studio in Mysuru needs help replacing a cutting table and overlocker after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇮🇳 Karnataka, India637 views
For six years I have run a sewing studio in Mysuru. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $330
• Initial stock: fabric: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $45
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
