For nine years I have run a laundry service in Kharkiv. In March, floodwater 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $250
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $105
• Shop repairs and licensing: $145
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending love, Andrei. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Moscow.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kharkiv!
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Birmingham.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Alcalá de Henares but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there, Andrei. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
