For four years I have run a laundry service in London. In July, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $1,800 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $900
• Shop repairs and licensing: $350
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $550
Glad we found this place.
