Jung-hee has run a laundry service for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,800 will put it back on its feet.

Chandler
For four years I have run a laundry service in Chandler. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 Thursday, 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 $3,800 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $2,300 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $470 • Shop repairs and licensing: $630 • Working capital for the first month: $400 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Jung-hee

Updates from Jung-hee

  1. Quick update: $257 raised so far (7%). I made the first payment toward initial stock: detergent and packaging. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($627). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Update from Chandler: the plan for initial stock: detergent and packaging is now scheduled. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Hang in there, Jung-hee. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      Wishing you peace, Jung-hee. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

          I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 24 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Chandler.
