For three years I have run a laundry service in San Jose. In April, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 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 $4,750 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $2,950
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $670
• Shop repairs and licensing: $400
• Working capital for the first month: $730
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in The Hague this morning. Greetings from The Hague.
Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of San Jose. Hope you're open again soon. It's not much but it's yours.
