Back to business - Paul's comeback in Onitsha
Paul has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Onitsha. In June, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $490
• Working capital for the first month: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
Glad we found this place.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Kochi donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out, Paul. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
