Back to business - Sadie's comeback in Anaheim

A barbershop in Anaheim needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a long illness and repossession.

Anaheim
For four years I have run a barbershop in Anaheim. In July, a long illness and repossession took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $4,000 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $690 • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,900 • Initial stock: supplies: $410 With deep gratitude, Sadie
