On Twitter, Okere shared that these are commercial appliances and the company came out to diagnose the issue.
“Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be a quick fix,” she wrote.
Okere said Compassion House was told it could be at least a month and a lot of money for parts.
“We have a full house and can’t wait,” she wrote.
“Is there an Edmonton business that may be interested in partnering? Clean bedding is essential for the women we serve.”
URGENT NEED: all of our washer/dryers are down at @yegchf and we’ve been told it will be at least a month + a lot of $ for parts. We have a full house & can’t wait. Is there a #YEG business that may be interested in partnering? Clean bedding is essential for the women we serve.
