Back to business - Kobi's comeback in Jerusalem
A tailoring shop in Jerusalem needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after the demolition of the market.
🇮🇱 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel1,639 views
For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Jerusalem. In August, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $2,350 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $760
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $480
• Shop repairs and licensing: $570
• Working capital for the first month: $540
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace, Kobi. Hope this works out for you. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City
is there anything that isn't money that would help Kobi?
Thank you. If you're in Jerusalem I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
so sorry you're going through this, Kobi. Hope the shop reopens soon. Blessings.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Stay strong, Kobi. Shared this with my family. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Sending strength, Kobi. Hope the shop reopens soon
