Back to business - Irmak's comeback in Üsküdar
Irmak lost two washing machines and a dryer to a fire in the building and needs $800 to reopen a laundry service and support the family.

For six years I have run a laundry service in Üsküdar. In August, 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 Saturday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $800 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $130
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $540
• Working capital for the first month: $130
Thank you so much.
