Guarulhos
For three years I have run a laundry service in Guarulhos. In August, a fire in the building 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 Wednesday, 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $950 goes: • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $140 • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $620 • Working capital for the first month: $190 I hope life is good to you. - Eliane
