Alicja needs two washing machines and a dryer to reopen a laundry service

Alicja has run a laundry service for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $750 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a laundry service in Warsaw. In January, a long illness and repossession 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $750 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $280 • Shop repairs and licensing: $290 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $180 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
