For three years I have run a laundry service in Cebu City. In November, a fire in the building 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 Monday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $400 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $115
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $210
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($29). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward replacing two washing machines and a dryer.
