Usman needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Usman has run a tailoring shop for six years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Multan. In March, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $450 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $260
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $40
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $75
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Bonny so I could bring a meal
