For three years I have run a laundry service in Novosibirsk. In April, a fire in the building 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 Thursday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $1,050 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $210 • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $610 • Working capital for the first month: $230 Thank you so much. - Alyona
