For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Madurai. In August, floodwater took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $300 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $90
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $160
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
