Andriy needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop

Andriy has run a barbershop for nine years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $850 will put it back on its feet.

Dnipro
For nine years I have run a barbershop in Dnipro. In June, a break-in took clippers, chairs and mirrors. 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 6 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 $850 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $155 • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $580 • Initial stock: supplies: $115 With deep gratitude, Andriy

Updates from Andriy

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($275 in total) I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($184 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $99 raised so far (12%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

                  you're not alone, Andriy. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal.
