Florence lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a long illness and repossession and needs $2,150 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Lyon. In January, 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 Saturday, 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 $2,150 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,300
• Initial stock: supplies: $220
• Shop repairs and licensing: $400
• Working capital for the first month: $230
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Lyon
hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
good luck, Florence. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
