Help Cláudia restart a laundry service in Olinda after the demolition of the market
A laundry service in Olinda needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after the demolition of the market.

For three years I have run a laundry service in Olinda. In August, the demolition of the market 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $1,400 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $880
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $185
• Shop repairs and licensing: $210
• Working capital for the first month: $125
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

stay strong, Cláudia. Looking forward to the next update. All the best!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Cláudia?
Thank you. If you're in Olinda I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
best of luck, Cláudia. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Stay strong, Cláudia. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
So sorry you're going through this, Cláudia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Hải Phòng.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Mumbai
shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Magelang this morning
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Moscow this morning. Blessings.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Olinda!
Wishing you peace, Cláudia. I hope things turn around soon.
So sorry you're going through this, Cláudia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Best of luck, Cláudia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up.
