Back to business - Hye-jin's comeback in Laredo
A laundry service in Laredo needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after the demolition of the market.

For three years I have run a laundry service in Laredo. In June, the demolition of the market 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $3,200 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,650
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $650
• Shop repairs and licensing: $230
• Working capital for the first month: $670
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 31 people at work. Greetings from Jerusalem.
Take care, Hye-jin. Hope you make a strong comeback. God bless.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Johannesburg this morning
