For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Jakarta Selatan. In May, 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 Sunday, 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $150
• Initial stock: fabric: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Mega. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Wishing you peace. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up
