For four years I have run a laundry service in Muzaffarpur. In May, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $400 goes: โ€ข Working capital for the first month: $70 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $80 โ€ข Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $250 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
