Help Tawan restart a laundry service in Bang Khen after the demolition of the market
Tawan lost two washing machines and a dryer to the demolition of the market and needs $1,000 to reopen a laundry service and support the family.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Thailand1,805 views
For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Bang Khen. In November, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,000 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $700
• Working capital for the first month: $115
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $185
With deep gratitude,
Tawan

Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Bang Khen. Hope you're open again soon. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Caloocan.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Tawan?
praying for you. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
You're not alone, Tawan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Bang Khen.
