A laundry service in Tlaquepaque needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For six years I have run a laundry service in Tlaquepaque. In March, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Wednesday, and I employed 3 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 $450 goes:
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $165
• Working capital for the first month: $200
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Howrah.
Hope you make a strong comeback. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Madurai!
Best of luck, Julieta. Small businesses are the heart of Tlaquepaque. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you.
