Rebuilding Oded’s Cargo Business

The past few years were tough—my wife’s illness forced me to reduce work to care for her. She passed away a month and a half ago, and now I’m focused on rebuilding my life and business for my children’s future.

Micro lending, Macro Impact

In Neve Ziv, northern Israel, frequent rocket sirens and conflict have disrupted daily life. For 25 years, my cargo transport business has supported logistics centers and factories across the country. The recent war has severely impacted my operations, adding to the financial strain I faced while caring for my wife during her illness. Despite these challenges, I’m committed to rebuilding. This loan will help me recover, settle debts, and get my business back on track.

My business - My spark

I’ve run my cargo transport and logistics business for over 25 years, serving factories and logistics centers throughout Israel. At its peak, my business operated multiple trucks and a full team, but when my wife became ill, I had to significantly downsize to care for her and my children. Despite these hardships, I remain passionate about my work and believe that with support, I can rebuild and provide reliable service once again.

A few more words

Losing my wife a month and a half ago has been the hardest challenge of my life. Caring for my three children alone in Neve Ziv, amidst constant sirens and uncertainty, has tested me in every way. But my commitment to my family and my work gives me strength. This loan would mean a chance to rebuild—both for my business and for the sense of security my children need.
