Back to business - Vihaan's comeback in Durgapur
Vihaan has run a laundry service for six years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $300 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a laundry service in Durgapur. In August, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $300 goes:
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $70
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Thank you so much.
