Help Eliane restart a laundry service in Guarulhos after a fire in the building
Eliane lost two washing machines and a dryer to a fire in the building and needs $950 to reopen a laundry service and support the family.

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.

This could happen to any of us. Love from San Diego
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Guarulhos.
Hang in there, Eliane. Hope the shop reopens soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Taguig.
You're not alone, Eliane. I hope things turn around soon
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Guarulhos.
