Back to business - Mahesh's comeback in Lalitpur

Mahesh has run a laundry service for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

Lalitpur
For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Lalitpur. In January, a break-in 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 Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $700 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $430 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $60 • Shop repairs and licensing: $95 • Working capital for the first month: $115 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Mahesh

        Take care, Mahesh. Small businesses are the heart of Lalitpur. Hope you're open again soon. Wish I lived closer to Busan so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Mumbai
