Help Isaac restart a laundry service in Tampa after a long illness and repossession
A laundry service in Tampa needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after a long illness and repossession.
🇺🇸 Tampa, Florida, United States1,642 views
For nine years I have run a laundry service in Tampa. In February, 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 10 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 $2,700 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,050
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $680
• Shop repairs and licensing: $570
• Working capital for the first month: $400
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone, Isaac. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Salerno so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Tampa.
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Tampa
