Start-up fund for Khoa: reopening a fish stall after a storm that collapsed the roof
A fish stall in Cầu Giấy needs help replacing a freezer and scales after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For nine years I have run a fish stall in Cầu Giấy. In May, a storm that collapsed the roof took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $700 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $430
• Initial stock: the first catch: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $60
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you, Khoa. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope it all works out, Khoa. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up
You're not alone, Khoa. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
