Rawalpindi

For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Rawalpindi. In June, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $450 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $55 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $80 • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $315 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Shazia
