Odesa
For three years I have run a laundry service in Odesa. 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 Monday, and I employed 3 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 $300 goes: • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $160 • Working capital for the first month: $75 • Shop repairs and licensing: $65 With deep gratitude, Kateryna

    you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Ciudad de México so I could bring a meal
