Back to business - Sarah's comeback in Toronto
Sarah has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,150 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Toronto. In July, 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 Friday, and I employed 3 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,850
• Initial stock: supplies: $710
• Shop repairs and licensing: $200
• Working capital for the first month: $390
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
