For fifteen years I have run a fish stall in Hồ Chí Minh City. In May, a storm that collapsed the roof took a freezer and scales. 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 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 $500 goes:
• Initial stock: the first catch: $100
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $320
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Keep going, Tâm. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Gwagwalada this morning!
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hang in there. Hope the shop reopens soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Rooting for you, Tâm. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. All the best
Good luck, Tâm. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
