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.

Tel Aviv
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.
