EDIT:

Thank you SO much to everyone who's donated! This has absolutely exceeded my expectations! I'm so excited to not have to be hand-washing things in the bathtub anymore (because my elbows were starting to tell me about it).

Your kindness and generosity have absolutely floored me. Thank you thank you thank you. This money will absolutely fix the washer, plus pay a couple bills I've been hiding under the piles of dirty laundry to avoid stressing over.

Like so many people, we've run into major money issues in the last year. My husband lost his white-collar job in January, we lived off our savings until they were gone, and now we're struggling while he makes less than half of what he used to make.

Our washing machine just broke, and with a family of six, that's a lot of laundry that isn't getting washed. We cannot afford to replace or repair it without some help, so we're asking for help to fund a new, cheap washing machine.

Any amount will help us get to our goal! Please help us try to keep our heads above water (and our clothes in water). Thank you so much for whatever you can do to help, even if it's just sharing this.
