Start-up fund for Sanket: reopening a laundry service after a long illness and repossession
Sanket has run a laundry service for nine years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a laundry service in Pune. In August, a long illness and repossession 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 Tuesday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $650 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $300
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $130
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you, Sanket. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
