Start-up fund for Joshua: reopening a laundry service after the demolition of the market

For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in St. Petersburg. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $4,150 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $670 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $580 • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $2,900 Thank you for reading my story.
