For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Toronto. In November, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $3,200 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $400 • Working capital for the first month: $840 • Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,960 With deep gratitude, Tarun

    • Rooting for you, Tarun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Gqeberha but we're thinking of you
