Help Weston restart a laundry service in Corpus Christi after a long illness and repossession
A laundry service in Corpus Christi needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a long illness and repossession.

For four years I have run a laundry service in Corpus Christi. In September, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $3,000 goes:
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $540
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $2,200
• Working capital for the first month: $260
Thank you so much.
