For four years I have run a laundry service in Kediri. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 3 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $350 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $80 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $110 • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $160 Glad we found this place. - Eka

Updates from Eka

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 56% funded and the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled.
