Help Marcos restart a laundry service in Mar del Plata after a break-in
Marcos has run a laundry service for six years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a laundry service in Mar del Plata. In January, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $185
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $285
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
