Emma needs two washing machines and a dryer to reopen a laundry service
Emma has run a laundry service for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,100 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇹 Milan, Lombardy, Italy1,001 views
For twelve years I have run a laundry service in Milan. In May, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 $2,100 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $890
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $460
• Shop repairs and licensing: $390
• Working capital for the first month: $360
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
