Start-up fund for Hương: reopening a small grocery stall after a break-in
Hương lost a cold-storage unit to a break-in and needs $400 to reopen a small grocery stall and support the family.
🇻🇳 Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam649 views
For six years I have run a small grocery stall in Thủ Đức. In August, a break-in took a cold-storage unit. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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 $400 goes:
• Replacing a cold-storage unit: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
Thank you so much.

How is Hương doing now?
You're not alone, Hương. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Kyiv.
Wishing you the best, Hương. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Sheffield this morning. Love from Sheffield.
Thinking of you and your family, Hương. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless!
Sending love, Hương. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
