Brianna needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Brianna has run a barbershop for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,300 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Mandeville. In March, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $1,300 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $710
• Initial stock: supplies: $160
• Shop repairs and licensing: $220
• Working capital for the first month: $210
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Keep going, Brianna. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Medellín
hope you make a strong comeback. After 23 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Negombo.
