A laundry service in Coatzacoalcos needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a fire in the building.

For nine years I have run a laundry service in Coatzacoalcos. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $1,100 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $800
• Shop repairs and licensing: $170
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $130
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
