A woman on an Appalachian Facebook group posted asking how to wring clothes with one hand and how to get the mildew smell out of clothing.
Apparently she broke her wrist a few years back and without health insurance did not go to the doctor. She washes her clothes by hand and has a difficult time wringing them out sufficiently to avoid the clothes smelling like mildew when dry.
Someone posted this washer/dryer and she commented she couldn't afford it now but at tax time.
She hasn't asked for money just suggestions and has replied to each with gratitude. Suggestions have included using rolling pins, getting a wring out mop bucket (I think that would create way too many wrinkles), or to take clothes to the laundry mat. I believe she's going to try the mop bucket route as she can't afford a trip to the laundry mat. I understand that, my mom recently got me a refillable card for the local laundry mat with $25 on it. When living frugally (not by choice) that's a huge gift!
I'd love to raise funds to get send this woman either a card to her local laundry mat or something similar to what it pictured below.
Thoughts?
