Parramatta
For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Parramatta. In January, a break-in took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 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 $2,450 goes: • Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $1,250 • Initial stock: fabric: $310 • Shop repairs and licensing: $580 • Working capital for the first month: $310 Thank you for reading my story.
