Thiruvananthapuram
For nine years I have run a laundry service in Thiruvananthapuram. In October, a long illness and repossession 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 Monday, and I employed 3 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 $300 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $80 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $140 • Shop repairs and licensing: $80 Thanks for being kind about this. - Neelam
