Gadi needs two washing machines and a dryer to reopen a laundry service

Gadi has run a laundry service for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $2,500 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a laundry service in Tel Aviv. In March, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $2,500 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,700 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $290 • Shop repairs and licensing: $230 • Working capital for the first month: $280 Thank you for reading my story. - Gadi
