For six years I have run a laundry service in Celaya. In July, 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,200 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $940 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $105 • Working capital for the first month: $155 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Liliana
