Start-up fund for Emilia: reopening a laundry service after a fire in the building

For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Adelaide. 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $1,400 goes: • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $670 • Shop repairs and licensing: $450 • Working capital for the first month: $280 Thank you for reading my story.
