For six years I have run a laundry service in Breda. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $3,450 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $2,300 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $310 • Shop repairs and licensing: $360 • Working capital for the first month: $480 Thanks for being kind about this. - Mirjam
