A laundry service in Bakersfield needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a long illness and repossession.

For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Bakersfield. In July, 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 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $1,950 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $640 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $930 • Working capital for the first month: $380 Thank you so much. - Teresa
