Back to business - Thu's comeback in Hồ Chí Minh City
Thu lost display cabinets and a cooler to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $650 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

For six years I have run a flower stall in Hồ Chí Minh City. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $390
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $110
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $100
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
