how it all started
On October 7, 2023, we woke up to a new reality of war.
Following the huge and sudden emergency mobilization, we decided to act immediately.
The next day, on October 8, 2023, we activated the small seamstress in our workshop (DeVinthy workshop) to produce equipment for the warriors. We produced about 10 products (mirror cover, madonna hug, thigh brace, belts and more) and distributed them free of charge. The demand was huge, and our small set-up was unable to meet all requests for equipment repair in the field.
To answer the requests of the fighters, we decided to set up a mobile sewing machine. As experts in car accessories and owners of a professional sewing shop, this was a necessary and easy move for us. We turned to the Dan Transport company, who donated a bus and turned it into a mobile sewing machine.
On November 7, 2023, Line 8 was born! Our bus began traveling daily to various locations around the Otaf and the border, to provide a critical response to fighters entering and exiting fighting in Gaza.
What do the soldiers get?
1. Combat equipment: production and sewing of equipment in advance in the workshop, such as a visor cover, hip collar, and more.
2. Equipment repairs: repairing straps in vests, replacing clips in vests and more.
3. Solutions from scratch: creating a stretcher carrier on top of a vest, tulle strings, a cover for feedback, a doctor's collar on a hammer and more.
4. Donated equipment: shirts, softshells, underwear, soaps, hats and more.
The soldiers' response:
"You save our lives!" - The repairs to the mobile salahiya improve the combat capabilities and preserve the lives of the warriors.
