Back to business - Lan's comeback in Thủ Đức
Lan has run a laundry service for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a laundry service in Thủ Đức. In May, 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 Tuesday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $600 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $320
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Lan?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing two washing machines and a dryer, advice is welcome too.
Stay strong, Lan. Gave what I could, wish it was more
