Wiesbaden
For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Wiesbaden. In August, a break-in took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $3,200 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,200 • Working capital for the first month: $340 • Shop repairs and licensing: $660 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Maximilian

  1. Update from Wiesbaden: I made the first payment toward replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors. We're at 61% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 25% funded and I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month. - Maximilian
