Help Erlangga restart a laundry service in Jakarta Selatan after the demolition of the market
Erlangga has run a laundry service for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Jakarta Selatan. In August, the demolition of the market 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 Sunday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $600 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $330
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $90
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Erlangga. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Wishing you peace. Small businesses are the heart of Jakarta Selatan. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Gujranwala.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Erlangga?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing two washing machines and a dryer, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Epe!
Sending good thoughts. Small businesses are the heart of Jakarta Selatan. Hope you're open again soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
