Background Overcame a spinal disorder to become the sole breadwinner for her family.
At YHH since Trained in mending and quality control. Now an essential part of the finishing line.

Tulsi Sunar knows what it means to fight for every step, literally. Living with a spinal disorder that limits her physical movement, Tulsi has faced challenges that would discourage most people. But giving up was never part of her vocabulary. As the sole breadwinner for her family, she needed work that valued precision over physical strength, and she found exactly that.

When Tulsi joined Yes Helping Hand, she was trained in the mending section, where her natural eye for detail became her greatest asset. Mending is not just repair work. It is the final quality gate that every cashmere garment must pass through before it reaches a customer. A loose thread, an uneven seam, a missed stitch, Tulsi catches them all.

Working in the mending section, Tulsi inspects and finishes cashmere sweaters, cardigans and coats. Each piece spends half a day to a full day at her station, where she mends any knitting defects, trims loose fibers, and ensures every garment meets the standard that Yes Helping Hand's customers expect. She handles about 5 to 6 pieces per week, roughly 22 per month.

Tulsi's story is proof that physical limitations do not define what a person can contribute. At Yes Helping Hand, surrounded by others who have overcome their own challenges, she has found a role where her skills are not just valued but essential. Every garment that leaves the workshop carries a piece of her careful attention.
