Fundraising to support the people of Northern Vietnam in overcoming the Typhoon Yagi

UPDATE - we have successfully raised £1547.7 for the project:

The fund now has been converted and transferred to 🇻🇳 The Vietnam Fatherland Front to aid the victims of Storm Yagi's survivors.

Thank you for your support with us !

I. Purpose of the Project:

Vietnam is currently suffering from the severe impacts of Typhoon Yagi, which has caused heavy storms and flooding in numerous cities, leading to substantial losses in both life and property. The number of casualties and damages continues to rise, necessitating assistance from all possible resources. Viet80s' fundraising project seeks to invoke a spirit of solidarity and compassion from the Vietnamese community in particular, and from all customers of the restaurant in general, to support the people of northern Vietnam who are severely affected by the ongoing storms and flooding. The funds raised will be directly transferred by Viet80s to the account of the Vietnam Fatherland Front - Central Relief Committee, to assist the local population in recovering, rebuilding their lives, and restoring infrastructure after the disaster.

II. Significance of the Project:

Vietnam is currently enduring destructive Typhoon Yagi, resulting in significant losses of life (over 300 people reported dead) and property. As a Vietnamese culinary restaurant, Viet80s embodies not only the spirit of Vietnam but also people. While our mission is to introduce Vietnamese cuisine to the world, we remain deeply connected to our roots and are committed to fulfilling our responsibilities as part of the Vietnamese community.

At Viet80s, we believe in more than just sharing our culture through food; we are also dedicated to supporting our homeland in times of need. This project serves not only as a means of financial support but also as a way for the Vietnamese community, together with our valued customers in the UK, to spread solidarity and compassion. Every contribution, regardless of size, carries profound meaning and plays a crucial role in helping those affected overcome these challenging times.
