Back to business - Easton's comeback in Swansea
Easton lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $3,650 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For three years I have run a barbershop in Swansea. In June, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 5 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 $3,650 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,000
• Initial stock: supplies: $700
• Shop repairs and licensing: $460
• Working capital for the first month: $490
With deep gratitude,
Easton

Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 29 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
Sending love, Easton. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
sending strength, Easton. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Thinking of you and your family, Easton. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
