I applied for a loan from Gesher Relief fund a few months ago and this has been a real lifesaver for both my business and family.
Although the application was quite intensive I can only advise anyone who is in business and struggling because of Covid and the difficult economic situation in the country to take advantage of the wonderful assistance they are providing.
Thank you ORT Jet we are really appreciative and although we are not out of the woods as yet, especially after this week’s events, your help has had a huge impact on my business and family.
