Aditya needs two washing machines and a dryer to reopen a laundry service
Aditya has run a laundry service for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a laundry service in Medan. In June, a fire in the building 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $310
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Bordeaux
Small businesses are the heart of Medan. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Knoxville.
