Kassie Boyd hasn't added a story.
When my mother died in February, I was forced to move out into a zero bedroom apartment. I have nothing against the move except one thing: there are no outlets for a washing machine or dryer. Due to this, I had to get rid of them.
Unfortuneitly, I just discovered that I have bed bugs! I absolutly need a dryer to combat them, but I cannot afford one. Portable dryers are very expensive and simply don't have the cash.
I can't afford a portable dryer on my own, I have to pay my rent and groceries. It's been very hard to earn enough money to take care of myself and I cannot even afford to go to the laundromat. I hand-wash all of my clothing and towels in my bathtub. I stomp them like grapes and then ring out each item with my hands. I then have to put what I can on a drying rack as we do not have clotheslines and I'm not allowed to put one up. And that's only if it's sunny, otherwise, my clothing hangs up anywhere I can put it, dripping cold water everywhere sometimes for days. This is acceptable, as this means that the bed bugs can easilly reinvest my clothing.
Having a compact, portable dryer is just what I need. With a portable dryer, I can vent the heat out through a window.
If you could donate even just a dollar, it would be extremely helpful.
Thank you so much,
--Kassie
