Help Travis restart a laundry service in San Diego after a break-in
Travis has run a laundry service for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $900 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a laundry service in San Diego. In February, 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 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $900 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $290
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $360
• Working capital for the first month: $250
Glad we found this place.
