Venkat needs two washing machines and a dryer to reopen a laundry service
Venkat has run a laundry service for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a laundry service in Hubballi. In August, 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $600 goes:
• Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $310
• Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $120
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
