For four years I have run a laundry service in Aswan. In April, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $280
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
