Help Seda restart a tailoring shop in Istanbul after the demolition of the market
A tailoring shop in Istanbul needs help replacing three industrial sewing machines after the demolition of the market.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye365 views
For six years I have run a tailoring shop in Istanbul. In January, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 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 $500 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $220
• Working capital for the first month: $150
• Shop repairs and licensing: $130
Thanks for reading all this.
