Back to business - Huy's comeback in Thủ Đức
Huy has run a laundry service for nine years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $400 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a laundry service in Thủ Đức. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 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 $400 goes:
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $50
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $260
• Working capital for the first month: $90
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there, Huy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
So sorry you're going through this, Huy. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Huy
Initial stock: detergent and packaging is $50 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope this works out for you. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Lalitpur.
sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Praying for you, Huy. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong, Huy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 15 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Santarém.
Hang in there, Huy. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you. Take care.
wishing you the best, Huy. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Juiz de Fora.
