Back to business - Aarav's comeback in Derry
A laundry service in Derry needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a break-in.
🇬🇧 Derry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom871 views
For four years I have run a laundry service in Derry. In August, a break-in took two washing machines and a dryer. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,500 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $440
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,750
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $310
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out
