For four years I have run a laundry service in Mississauga. In August, floodwater 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $3,600 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,900
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $600
• Shop repairs and licensing: $580
• Working capital for the first month: $520
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

sending strength, Myra. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
sending good thoughts, Myra. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to New Orleans so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Mississauga
So sorry you're going through this, Myra. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Mississauga
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Los Angeles.
