For twelve years I have run a flower stall in Hồ Chí Minh City. In October, floodwater took display cabinets and a cooler. 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 8 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $380
• Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Working capital for the first month: $100
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Hiền
Wanted to say thank you properly. 12% funded and I made the first payment toward initial stock: seasonal flowers.

Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Mumbai.
how is Hiền doing now?
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Semarang.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Wollongong.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Sending strength, Hiền. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Agra so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
Keep going, Hiền. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Rajshahi
