Help Peyton restart a laundry service in Liverpool after floodwater
Peyton has run a laundry service for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $2,750 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a laundry service in Liverpool. In August, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,750 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,200
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $510
• Shop repairs and licensing: $500
• Working capital for the first month: $540
Thanks for being kind about this.

wishing you peace, Peyton. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Arlington this morning!
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Peyton. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Liverpool!
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 32 people at work. Thinking of Liverpool.
praying for you. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
