For twelve years I have run a sewing studio in Semarang. In August, floodwater took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $600 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Initial stock: fabric: $80
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $445
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Fajar. Hope you make a strong comeback.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Semarang.
Hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of Semarang. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
