Help Byung-hun restart a laundry service in Mapo after floodwater

Byung-hun has run a laundry service for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $1,750 will put it back on its feet.

Mapo
For three years I have run a laundry service in Mapo. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $1,750 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $940 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $330 • Shop repairs and licensing: $170 • Working capital for the first month: $310 With deep gratitude, Byung-hun

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mapo

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing two washing machines and a dryer, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.

  • Imani Mwanaisha Njoroge

    Take care. Small businesses are the heart of Mapo. Hope you're open again soon.

        praying for you, Byung-hun. Hope the shop reopens soon. My neighbor in Chiang Mai donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mapo.

        • Lincoln F. Gilbert

          Thinking of you and your family, Byung-hun. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

          • Delphine Jacquet

            you're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Fresno but we're thinking of you
