Back to business - Surachai's comeback in Nakhon Ratchasima
Surachai lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $800 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Nakhon Ratchasima. 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $800 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $570
• Working capital for the first month: $150
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
Thank you so much.
