Back to business - Đức's comeback in Thủ Đức
Đức has run a street-food cart for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a street-food cart in Thủ Đức. In September, floodwater took a gas stove and two refrigerators. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 a gas stove and two refrigerators: $350
• Initial stock: ingredients: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $80
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Thủ Đức.
Thank you. If you're in Thủ Đức I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
shared this with my family. My neighbor in Ubud donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Greetings from Raleigh.
