For six years I have run a laundry service in Gazipur. In June, 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 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 $500 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $340 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $65 • Shop repairs and licensing: $45 • Working capital for the first month: $50 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Karim

    Praying for you, Karim. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Chiang Mai so I could bring a meal. Take care.
