Back to business - Gadi's comeback in Tel Aviv
Gadi has run a tailoring shop for three years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $1,700 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Tel Aviv. In July, a long illness and repossession took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,000
• Shop repairs and licensing: $280
• Working capital for the first month: $420
Thanks for reading all this.

Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Surabaya
thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Take care. Small businesses are the heart of Tel Aviv. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Thinking of Tel Aviv
Sending love, Gadi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Stay strong, Gadi. Hope you make a strong comeback. Sent it to 32 people at work. All the best.
