Micah needs two washing machines and a dryer to reopen a laundry service
A laundry service in Bristol needs help replacing two washing machines and a dryer after floodwater.
🇬🇧 Bristol, England, United Kingdom1,006 views
For twelve years I have run a laundry service in Bristol. 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $2,800 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $1,500
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $670
• Shop repairs and licensing: $400
• Working capital for the first month: $230
I hope life is good to you.
- Micah

Best of luck, Micah. Hope the shop reopens soon. Take care.
Praying for you, Micah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Take care.

hope things get better soon. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Bristol.
Rooting for you, Micah. Looking forward to the next update.
Sending good thoughts, Micah. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Micah. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in Amsterdam this morning.
