Back to business - Henryk's comeback in Gdańsk
Henryk lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to floodwater and needs $1,150 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇵🇱 Gdańsk, Pomerania, Poland800 views
For four years I have run a barbershop in Gdańsk. In June, floodwater 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 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $650
• Shop repairs and licensing: $210
• Working capital for the first month: $290
Every share and every dollar helps.

You're not alone, Henryk. Hope you get there. Greetings from Likoni
is there anything that isn't money that would help Henryk?
Thank you. If you're in Gdańsk I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Best of luck, Henryk. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Henryk. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Porto Alegre.
