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

Heloísa has run a laundry service for three years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $850 will put it back on its feet.

Duque de Caxias

For three years I have run a laundry service in Duque de Caxias. In August, a break-in 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 4 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 $850 goes: • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $165 • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $620 • Working capital for the first month: $65 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Heloísa
