Shira needs three industrial sewing machines to reopen a tailoring shop
Shira has run a tailoring shop for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,250 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a tailoring shop in Tel Aviv. In March, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $3,250 goes:
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $610
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $2,300
• Shop repairs and licensing: $340
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hope it all works out, Shira. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Rosario donated after I showed her your page
Sending strength. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Rabat this morning. Greetings from Rabat.
