Back to business - Joshua's comeback in Angeles

Joshua lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to floodwater and needs $500 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

Angeles
For three years I have run a barbershop in Angeles. In February, floodwater 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $500 goes: • Initial stock: supplies: $55 • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $370 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
