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.

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.

Hope things get better soon, Heloísa. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Quetta so I could bring a meal.
