For twelve years I have run a small grocery stall in Nha Trang. In August, the demolition of the market took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $300 goes:
• Initial stock: fresh produce: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $115
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Anh. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 39 people at work. All the best.
Hang in there, Anh. Hope you make a strong comeback. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Small businesses are the heart of Nha Trang. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from San Diego.
take care, Anh. I hope things turn around soon. Love from București.
Hope things get better soon, Anh. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Nha Trang.
