For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Santa Rosa. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $200 goes:
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Seoul.
Keep going. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor in Surabaya donated after I showed her your page.
