Gabriella needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
A tailoring shop in Wollongong needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a fire in the building.
🇦🇺 2508, Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia3,947 views
For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Wollongong. In August, a fire in the building took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $280
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $2,350
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $520

How is Gabriella doing now?
Sending strength, Gabriella. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Casablanca donated after I showed her your page
Hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best.
wishing you the best. Hope the shop reopens soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
You're not alone, Gabriella. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
