Start-up fund for Doron: reopening a tailoring shop after the demolition of the market
Doron lost three industrial sewing machines to the demolition of the market and needs $2,150 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.
🇮🇱 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel281 views
For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Jerusalem. In March, 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 Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,150 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,050
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $350
• Shop repairs and licensing: $560
• Working capital for the first month: $190
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
