Back to business - Luke's comeback in Bristol

Luke has run a laundry service for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $2,850 will put it back on its feet.

Bristol
For four years I have run a laundry service in Bristol. In September, floodwater 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 Saturday, 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $2,850 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $590 • Working capital for the first month: $490 • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,770 Every share and every dollar helps.
