Back to business - Nolan's comeback in Eugene
A laundry service in Eugene needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For twelve years I have run a laundry service in Eugene. In February, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $3,000 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,250
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $840
• Shop repairs and licensing: $620
• Working capital for the first month: $290
Every share and every dollar helps.
