For six years I have run a laundry service in Mohammedia. In September, a long illness and repossession 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 4 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:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $250
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $85
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Bilal. Shared this with my family.
This could happen to any of us. After 10 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace, Bilal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
