Mumbai
For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Mumbai. In April, 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 Wednesday, 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 $650 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $330 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $110 • Shop repairs and licensing: $90 • Working capital for the first month: $120 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
