Istanbul
For nine years I have run a laundry service in Istanbul. In November, the demolition of the market 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 Monday, and I employed 1 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $1,100 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $155 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $110 • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $835 With deep gratitude, Mustafa

              Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 33 people at work. Take care.
