Buffalo

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Buffalo. In August, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $3,300 goes: • Initial stock: supplies: $780 • Shop repairs and licensing: $450 • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,070 Thanks for being kind about this. - Renata

Good news. Because of your gifts ($163 in total) I made the first payment toward replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
