Help Nadia restart a laundry service in Riyadh after the demolition of the market

Riyadh
For nine years I have run a laundry service in Riyadh. In May, the demolition of the market 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 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $1,050 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $470 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $240 • Shop repairs and licensing: $340 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Nadia

      So sorry you're going through this. Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
