Start-up fund for Adel: reopening a tailoring shop after a storm that collapsed the roof
Adel has run a tailoring shop for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,250 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a tailoring shop in Jeddah. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 1 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 $1,250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $120
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $940
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $190
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
