Back to business - Ezra's comeback in San Francisco
Ezra has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,550 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in San Francisco. In June, a long illness and repossession took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $3,550 goes:
• Initial stock: supplies: $760
• Working capital for the first month: $380
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,410
Thanks for being kind about this.
