On the 1st of November 2014, my house unfortunately burnt down during a bushfire. I had just finished my school HSC, preparing for my year 12 formal.. which for many girls, is an important day! I lost many of my belongings, including childhood photos, many clothes & my formal shoes. Fortunately for me, I was getting my dress altered at Katoomba Fabrics, so my dress was left untouched by fire. My alteration request was quite a hard job (including a lining on the bodice of my dress, raising the hem & leaving a small train).
After approx. 1 week, I went into the store to pick up my dress. The lady who helped me heard the story of my house & losing my shoes. You could tell she was heart broken. She went back to her bag which was left in the back of the shop & pulled out her wallet. She handed me $100 to buy myself some new shoes. This lady is not only amazing at what she does, she is also an amazing, selfless & all round beautiful woman!
On the night of my year 12 formal, I was wearing a beautiful dress & had beautiful shoes. It was the perfect night & it was all thanks to this amazing woman at Katoomba Fabrics.
This is a memory that I will NEVER forget & one day, I will repay her as much as I can.
Thank you again.
