OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) — Shartel Towers is in the headlines again, this time residents say they haven’t had working laundry machines for nearly a month.
One woman News 4 spoke with says herself, like many others at Shartel Towers are disabled, so it is hard enough for them to get around, making it impossible for them to find another way to do their laundry.
“You have to wash your underwear in the sink, think about that,” a resident at Shartel Towers said.

That’s what some residents at the Shartel Towers have been forced to do as they wait for the laundry room to get fixed.
We spoke to a woman who asked us not to show her face, fearful of retaliation, but she says she can no longer hold her tongue.
“Here it is almost a month later, and we still don’t have laundry,” she said.
She along with many others don’t have another option to wash their clothes.
“A lot of people are disabled,” she said. “They can’t carry their laundry out to the laundromat, you know, and so it’s just piling up and it’s sad.”
