Talia lost a cutting table and overlocker to floodwater and needs $2,850 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a sewing studio in Tel Aviv. In August, floodwater 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 2 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 $2,850 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $260
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $2,100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $490
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 11 people at work.
Hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Londrina.
Keep going, Talia. Hope this works out for you.
