Back to business - Rami's comeback in Heliopolis
A tailoring shop in Heliopolis needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after a fire in the building.

For three years I have run a tailoring shop in Heliopolis. In August, a fire in the building took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $230
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $150
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $100
Glad we found this place.

thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Heliopolis. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Heliopolis
So sorry you're going through this, Rami. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
