Wayne lost two washing machines and a dryer to a long illness and repossession and needs $1,150 to reopen a laundry service and support the family.

For nine years I have run a laundry service in Sheffield. In January, a long illness and repossession 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 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 $1,150 goes:
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $570
• Working capital for the first month: $360
• Shop repairs and licensing: $220
Thank you so much.

Update from Sheffield: I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 23% funded and I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. - Wayne
