Ömer needs a cutting table and overlocker to reopen a sewing studio
Ömer lost a cutting table and overlocker to the demolition of the market and needs $950 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye923 views
For four years I have run a sewing studio in Üsküdar. In September, the demolition of the market took a cutting table and overlocker. 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 8 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 $950 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $540
• Initial stock: fabric: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $125
• Working capital for the first month: $185
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Ömer. Hope you get there
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ömer?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing a cutting table and overlocker, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Stay strong, Ömer. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Ömer. Hope you get there. Don't give up. God bless.
Stay strong, Ömer. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Üsküdar.
This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless!
take care, Ömer. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Cairo but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this, Ömer. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Üsküdar.
Hope it all works out, Ömer. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
