A laundry service in Charlotte needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a break-in.

For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Charlotte. 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 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 $4,150 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $2,750 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $700 • Shop repairs and licensing: $430 • Working capital for the first month: $270 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Sacramento

        wishing you peace, Rubén. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
