Rajkot

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Rajkot. In August, the demolition of the market 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $650 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $400 • Initial stock: supplies: $80 • Shop repairs and licensing: $45 • Working capital for the first month: $125 I hope life is good to you. - Ananya
