For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Sydney. In July, a fire in the building took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric: $530
• Working capital for the first month: $330
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,390
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thinking of you, Silas. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Silas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Wishing you peace. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best
