For six years I have run a fish stall in Thủ Đức. In March, a long illness and repossession took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 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 $250 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $50
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $160
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Long. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
