Rivka lost three industrial sewing machines to a long illness and repossession and needs $1,850 to reopen a tailoring shop and support the family.

For four years I have run a tailoring shop in Jerusalem. In February, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $1,850 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $220
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $1,050
• Initial stock: fabric and thread: $580
With deep gratitude,
Rivka
