Back to business - Hassan's comeback in Newcastle
A tailoring shop in Newcastle needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after the demolition of the market.
🇦🇺 Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia4,212 views
For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Newcastle. In July, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $3,500 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,800
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $590
• Shop repairs and licensing: $560
• Working capital for the first month: $550
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace, Hassan. Hope the shop reopens soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
