Back to business - Layla's comeback in Jeddah

Layla has run a barbershop for three years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

Jeddah
For three years I have run a barbershop in Jeddah. In August, floodwater 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 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $1,350 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $550 • Initial stock: supplies: $220 • Shop repairs and licensing: $340 • Working capital for the first month: $240 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Layla
