For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Lafayette. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $2,850 goes: โ€ข Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,500 โ€ข Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $880 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $240 โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $230 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Bo-ra
