YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – A local restaurant in Yuma, Saigon Pho, raised almost $3,000 for the flood victims in Texas.
The restaurant and its staff held a fundraiser this past Saturday, and received funds from the community.
Vinny Vo, owner of Saigon Pho, says, “Lots of people in town are very supportive.”
The fundraiser received funds from local nonprofits like Saint Francis Church and Crossroads Mission.
Vo shares why he was so compelled to donate to victims and how the tragic floods hit close to home.
“I like to help the flood victims because I live in a country that every year, people get killed. People are washed away all their lifetime savings because of flood,” said Vo.
He hopes the next time he hosts a fundraiser, even more people will join.
