One of the women has seven-year-old twins, if I understood her correctly. My high school Spanish is getting a workout!
Laundry is a big issue with the current large group (about 200 people currently, I think, being housed at two local churches for the moment while they wait for housing).
It’s about $50 at the laundromat to do all their laundry, and about two hours. If you’re local and interested in helping with laundry runs, let me know, I’ll put you in touch with the organizers. The organizers may have cash for you, but I’d recommend you be prepared to cover it if necessary, and bring detergent pods.

EDITING TO NOTE: If you want to help, this is being organized through one of the new support groups, Oak Park Supports / Apoya.
This is one of the organizing threads on laundry.
