Help Temitope restart a laundry service in Onitsha after a long illness and repossession
Temitope has run a laundry service for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a laundry service in Onitsha. In June, a long illness and repossession 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 Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $300 goes:
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $115
• Working capital for the first month: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
