Start-up fund for Esteban: reopening a laundry service after the demolition of the market
Esteban lost two washing machines and a dryer to the demolition of the market and needs $800 to reopen a laundry service and support the family.
🇦🇷 La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina466 views
For twelve years I have run a laundry service in La Plata. In December, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $550
• Working capital for the first month: $155
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
Thank you for reading my story.
