Back to business - Fatima's comeback in Multan
Fatima lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a fire in the building and needs $350 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇵🇰 Multan, Punjab, Pakistan878 views
For three years I have run a barbershop in Multan. In August, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 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 $350 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $185
• Initial stock: supplies: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $50
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Fatima
45% there. I made the first payment toward replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors. Thank you.
Update from Multan: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($52 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Fatima
