Start-up fund for Pedro: reopening a laundry service after the demolition of the market
Pedro has run a laundry service for three years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a laundry service in Quezon City. 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $300 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $65
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.
