<div>In 1994 my pops, who you may know as Mr Wong, opened Vegetarian’s Paradise 2 and VP2GO. In 2002, we converted our little juice bar and vegan dim sum spot to Red Bamboo. For over thirty years our family has been serving vegan food in Greenwich Village and we are reaching out to our community in the hopes that you can help us to <strong>keep our small business alive</strong>.

<div>Since the pandemic, we've been struggling to get back on our feet. We haven't been able to make up our losses from having to close indoor dining for over a year. Our rent continues to increase while foot traffic has slowed down tremendously. After an issue with the gas pipe in our building that the landlord chose not to fix, we were forced to overhaul our entire kitchen for more than $40,000. Your generous donations would help in paying the rent that we owe, past due ConEdison bills, commercial liability insurance, payroll taxes, and escalating food costs.

</div>
<div>We've watched many great friends and colleagues in our neighborhood fall to the pressure of rising rents, residual Covid stress, and big corporations popping up to oversaturate the market. It is very tough right now for small businesses, especially those that are minority owned, women owned, and queer owned like ourselves. We would benefit greatly from <em>any</em> help that you can provide so that we do not become one of the fallen small businesses.

</div>
<div>With your help, we hope we can continue to serve the vegan community.
