Help Marites restart a laundry service in Mandaue after a storm that collapsed the roof
Marites has run a laundry service for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a laundry service in Mandaue. In June, 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 5 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $165
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $140
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $145
Thanks for reading all this.
