I live in a relatively small outdated apartment building with my two partners. There are 16 units (12 two bedrooms and 4 one bedrooms), lots of large families with small kids, but only two washers and two dryers for the entire building to make use of. These appliances are very old, breakdown multiple times a month, and are almost constantly running from 7am to 9pm.

We either can't get a machine because it's busy, one or more has broke down, or we just can't afford it. At $2.50 per cycle for each machine, often times the dryer won't dry things and we have to run it a few times... So you can imagine how quickly funds run dry after getting a very small chunk of laundry completed. We have an embarrassing amount of clothing in bags, because our hampers are at capacity and we don't want a floor full of clothes (if we can help it). We can never seem to get ahead of our laundry... All of which could be remedied with a combination washer/dryer.

 

If you'd like to help in the smallest way possible, consider sending your tips to this goal when you get work from me or when you're feeling generous.
