Frankfurt
For nine years I have run a laundry service in Frankfurt. In August, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 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 $2,600 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,200 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $540 • Shop repairs and licensing: $250 • Working capital for the first month: $610 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Benin City so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Frankfurt.

      Thanks for sharing this, Lina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

        Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!

          Sending love, Lina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
