Cristina lost two washing machines and a dryer to the demolition of the market and needs $2,150 to reopen a laundry service and support the family.
🇪🇸 A Coruña, Galicia, Spain1,887 views
For four years I have run a laundry service in A Coruña. In August, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 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 $2,150 goes:
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $540
• Working capital for the first month: $540
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,070
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
hope this works out for you. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Bangkok.
Hope it all works out, Cristina. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of A Coruña!
take care, Cristina. Hope the shop reopens soon. Blessings
