Help Laura rebuild her business after fire

Thank you for reading my fundraiser. My name is Tess, and on the 1st of March, my sister Laura watched as her dream burn down before her eyes. She began her fashion label SAINT and leased a studio space in the Wickham Woolsheds. Around 2:30pm the fires started in the building next to where she leased her studio space; she rode her bike in the rain to get there just in time to see the flames spread into her building. There was no warning and no opportunity to save anything.

She started her label from scratch and had slowly built up her equipment, buying everything slowly and as she could afford to do so. That studio held all her hopes and dreams, her hours of hard work and excitement to create a business that could provide her with an income she had made by herself. Everything she required for her business was inside her studio; an industrial sewing machine, overlocker, press iron, all her fabrics and leathers, handmade leather belts, thread, her computer, packaging, patterns, finished products and stock.

I have started this Go Fund Me as she, unfortunately, did not have fire cover as part of her insurance. Therefore, she now will have to save to purchase all the essentials she needs to start again, though as her business is her only form of income seems a near-impossible task.

Thank you for taking the time, and thank you if you are able to donate. Our first goal is to be able to raise enough money to purchase the larger items that are essential to her business (sewing machine/overlocker). She is surrounded by love and support during this time, I am just hoping to ease the burden of rebuilding her business financially.
