For fifteen years I have run a laundry service in Hanoi. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $35
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $100
Thank you so much.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vy
shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Bakersfield.
stay strong. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you, Vy. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
