Guadalupe
For three years I have run a laundry service in Guadalupe. In September, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,100 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $170 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $200 • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $730 Every share and every dollar helps.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($227). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  2. Update from Guadalupe: I made the first payment toward initial stock: detergent and packaging. We're at 84% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Small businesses are the heart of Guadalupe. Hope you're open again soon.

      So sorry you're going through this, Regina. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
