For three years I have run a fish stall in Hồ Chí Minh City. In January, a long illness and repossession took a freezer and scales. 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 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $280
• Initial stock: the first catch: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $115
• Working capital for the first month: $75
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

So sorry you're going through this, Cường. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Halifax but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
