Help Lilian restart a laundry service in Likoni after a break-in
A laundry service in Likoni needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a break-in.
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya1,050 views
For nine years I have run a laundry service in Likoni. In March, a break-in 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 4 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $550 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $270
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $145
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. All the best
wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Derry
so sorry you're going through this, Lilian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Lilian. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
