Samjhana lost two washing machines and a dryer to the demolition of the market and needs $450 to reopen a laundry service and support the family.
🇳🇵 Biratnagar, Koshi, Nepal200 views
For three years I have run a laundry service in Biratnagar. In January, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $250
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Negombo so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Santarém.
Take care, Samjhana. Shared this with my family.
Sending love, Samjhana. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Samjhana.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing two washing machines and a dryer comes first ($250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope you get there. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Biratnagar.
Take care, Samjhana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Samjhana. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Accra.
you're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
