For six years I have run a street-food cart in Nha Trang. In January, floodwater took a gas stove and two refrigerators. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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 $350 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $130
• Initial stock: ingredients: $60
• Replacing a gas stove and two refrigerators: $160
With deep gratitude,
Quỳnh

Small update. $264 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
43% there. the first invoice got paid this week. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($120 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
