For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Los Angeles. In July, a fire in the building 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,600 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $490
• Shop repairs and licensing: $620
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $490
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you, Jordan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Cox's Bazar.
Hang in there, Jordan. Hope you get there. All the best.
small businesses are the heart of Los Angeles. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Jordan. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Los Angeles.
