Back to business - Sơn's comeback in Thủ Đức
Sơn lost an espresso machine and grinder to the demolition of the market and needs $550 to reopen a roadside café and support the family.
🇻🇳 Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam1,251 views
For three years I have run a roadside café in Thủ Đức. In July, the demolition of the market took an espresso machine and grinder. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $110
• Replacing an espresso machine and grinder: $310
• Working capital for the first month: $130
I hope life is good to you.
