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

For six years I have run a laundry service in Davao City. In August, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $550 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $380
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $35
• Working capital for the first month: $70
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Rooting for you, Jasmine. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Eindhoven
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Davao City.
Thinking of you, Jasmine. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jasmine!
Replacing two washing machines and a dryer is $380 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Wishing you peace. Hope the shop reopens soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier
Sending good thoughts, Jasmine. Small businesses are the heart of Davao City. Hope you're open again soon.
best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Chennai.
Keep going, Jasmine. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Good luck, Jasmine. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Kampala so I could bring a meal. Love from Addis Ababa.

this could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Noida this morning
