Start-up fund for Ido: reopening a laundry service after the demolition of the market
A laundry service in Haifa needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after the demolition of the market.
🇮🇱 Haifa, Haifa, Israel1,902 views
For six years I have run a laundry service in Haifa. In January, 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 10 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 $2,350 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $195
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,750
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $405
Thank you so much.

Take care. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 7 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Haifa. Hope you're open again soon
gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ido?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about shop repairs and licensing, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Thinking of Haifa
stay strong. Small businesses are the heart of Haifa. Hope you're open again soon.
