Back to business - Wesley's comeback in Toledo
A barbershop in Toledo needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after floodwater.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Toledo. In July, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,350
• Initial stock: supplies: $680
• Shop repairs and licensing: $520
• Working capital for the first month: $750
I hope life is good to you.
- Wesley

Best of luck, Wesley. Small businesses are the heart of Toledo. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Wesley. Hope you get there. Greetings from Boston.
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from San Jose.
