Help Vũ restart a tailoring shop in Thủ Đức after the demolition of the market
Vũ has run a tailoring shop for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $350 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a tailoring shop in Thủ Đức. In March, the demolition of the market took three industrial sewing machines. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Replacing three industrial sewing machines: $180
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts, Vũ. Shared this with my family. Take care.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Vũ?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing three industrial sewing machines, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Thủ Đức.
Hang in there, Vũ. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Thủ Đức!
Sending good thoughts, Vũ. Hope you make a strong comeback. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Vũ. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Montréal!
