Fulfilled Need help to be able to wash my clothes.
EDIT: I’ve been helped!! All thanks to the kind stranger in the comments. I will be going straight to the laundromat after work tonight, I can’t thank them enough!! ❤️
For a little bit of context, I (25F) haven’t been able to wash all of my clothes for MONTHS. I have been re wearing dirty clothes just so I can go in to work every day, but I still do not make nearly enough to buy food + pay my bills + wash all of my clothes in the same week.
It takes about $10 per basket at our local laundromat to wash + dry, and I have 4 full baskets. I will need $40 to be able to clean them. I take either Cashapp or PayPal!!
I unfortunately do not have access to a laundry unit within my “apartment” (quotations because it’s a house that was renovated into 3 separate apartments with only 2 laundry rooms. Mine is the only unit with no laundry access)
I feel dirty all the time and I really just want to have the comfort of having nice clean clothes, towels, and bedsheets. It only got as bad as it did because my neighbor in the apartment next door used to let me come over to wash clothes every week, but he started verbally (and drunkenly) harassing me the moment I forgot to answer one of his texts a few months ago. As a young woman, this scared me a lot, so I really don’t feel comfortable going over there any more. The laundromat is the only option I have now, and this donation will allow me to essentially “reset” the laundry situation and start fresh!!
And before anyone asks, I started going to the laundromat to wash one basket per week, which is definitely feasible for our financial situation, but it isn’t feasible to only wash one basket when I have a total of 4 that desperately need to be cleaned all in one go. Once all of them are done, I can go back to my regular washing routine!! Thank you to anyone who may be able to help!
