Back to business - Robert's comeback in Wrocław
A barbershop in Wrocław needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For three years I have run a barbershop in Wrocław. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,000
• Initial stock: supplies: $125
• Shop repairs and licensing: $220
• Working capital for the first month: $155
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Robert
It's all in the list in the story. replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors is the big one at $1,000, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Cairo.
Any update on how things are going in Wrocław?
Thanks for sharing this, Robert. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
small businesses are the heart of Wrocław. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Wrocław
