For six years I have run a laundry service in Riverside. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 1 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $530
• Working capital for the first month: $660
• Shop repairs and licensing: $560
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Rooting for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending good thoughts, Ezekiel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
