Back to business - Budi's comeback in Jakarta
Budi lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a break-in and needs $550 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,108 views
For three years I have run a barbershop in Jakarta. 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $350
• Initial stock: supplies: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Budi. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Thanks for sharing this, Budi. Hope you make a strong comeback. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
