Help Napat restart a laundry service in Bangkok after floodwater
Napat has run a laundry service for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a laundry service in Bangkok. In July, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $280
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $155
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Johannesburg donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
How is Napat doing now?
take care, Napat. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 19 people at work. Thinking of Bangkok!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Napat.
Replacing two washing machines and a dryer is $280 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Cox's Bazar!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Napat?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing two washing machines and a dryer, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Bhopal but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Best of luck, Napat. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Bangkok.
hang in there, Napat. Your post was clear and honest.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
