Back to business - José's comeback in Alicante
A laundry service in Alicante needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a break-in.

For nine years I have run a laundry service in Alicante. In March, a break-in 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 Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $2,700 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,800
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $390
• Shop repairs and licensing: $290
• Working capital for the first month: $220
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
