Back to business - Jasmine's comeback in Manila

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Manila. In July, the demolition of the market took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $300 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $45 • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $180 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
