Tatiane lost two washing machines and a dryer to a break-in and needs $850 to reopen a laundry service and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Petrópolis. In January, a break-in 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $850 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Working capital for the first month: $105
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $605
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nashik.
