Da Nang
For nine years I have run a laundry service in Da Nang. In September, the demolition of the market 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 7 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 $450 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $190 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $135 • Shop repairs and licensing: $80 • Working capital for the first month: $45 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Đạt

  1. Quick update: $221 raised so far (49%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $142 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($182 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Sending strength, Đạt. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Da Nang.
