Back to business - Łukasz's comeback in Gdańsk
A barbershop in Gdańsk needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a long illness and repossession.
🇵🇱 Poland1,112 views
For three years I have run a barbershop in Gdańsk. In January, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,150 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $270
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $725
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Love from Newcastle.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope things get better soon, Łukasz. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Rooting for you, Łukasz. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
