For six years I have run a laundry service in Aurangabad. In August, a break-in 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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: $310
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Shweta?
Thank you. If you're in Aurangabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Hope things get better soon, Shweta. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
