Start-up fund for Adel: reopening a laundry service after a long illness and repossession
A laundry service in Mohammedia needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a long illness and repossession.

For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Mohammedia. In October, a long illness and repossession 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $750 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $150
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $530
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hang in there, Adel. Hope you make a strong comeback. Take care
Keep going. Small businesses are the heart of Mohammedia. Hope you're open again soon.
good luck, Adel. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Hope things get better soon, Adel. Small businesses are the heart of Mohammedia. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
thanks for sharing this, Adel. Hope you get there
