For nine years I have run a laundry service in Belfast. In July, the demolition of the market 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $3,850 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $2,700
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $380
• Shop repairs and licensing: $330
• Working capital for the first month: $440
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength, Jacob. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Belfast
Hope you get there. Love from Amsterdam
