For three years I have run a barbershop in San Francisco. 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $4,400 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $3,100
• Initial stock: supplies: $690
• Shop repairs and licensing: $270
• Working capital for the first month: $340
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong, William. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, William. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
rooting for you. Hope the shop reopens soon. It's not much but it's yours.
hope it all works out, William. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Tampa donated after I showed her your page. All the best
