Back to business - Rohit's comeback in Varanasi

A barbershop in Varanasi needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a fire in the building.

Varanasi
For three years I have run a barbershop in Varanasi. 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 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 $400 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $180 • Initial stock: supplies: $100 • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Working capital for the first month: $60 Every share and every dollar helps. - Rohit

        Hope things get better soon, Rohit. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
