Back to business - Yusuf's comeback in 6th of October City
Yusuf has run a laundry service for three years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a laundry service in 6th of October City. In April, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $550 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $90
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $415
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Yusuf. Hope you make a strong comeback. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
