Ribeirão Preto
For six years I have run a laundry service in Ribeirão Preto. In February, floodwater took two washing machines and a dryer. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $1,050 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $620 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $230 • Shop repairs and licensing: $200 Thanks for reading all this.

        hope it all works out, Adriana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

                Wishing you the best, Adriana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 20 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

                          Small businesses are the heart of Ribeirão Preto. Hope you're open again soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
