Help Uche restart a laundry service in Kaduna after a break-in
Uche has run a laundry service for four years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a laundry service in Kaduna. In August, 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $400 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $250
• Working capital for the first month: $95
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Uche. This could happen to any of us. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Seoul
