A laundry service in Yonkers needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a fire in the building.

For six years I have run a laundry service in Yonkers. In June, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $820
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $510
• Shop repairs and licensing: $550
• Working capital for the first month: $770
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Dortmund
Hang in there. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from San Diego
Wishing you the best, Hadley. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from Grand Rapids.
Sending love, Hadley. Hope you make a strong comeback. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
