Christopher needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
A barbershop in Aurora needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after floodwater.
🇺🇸 United States4,050 views
For six years I have run a barbershop in Aurora. 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $490
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,300
• Initial stock: supplies: $410
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($778). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward working capital for the first month.

Hang in there, Christopher. Hope the shop reopens soon. Blessings
wishing you peace. Hope you make a strong comeback. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
thinking of you and your family, Christopher. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings!
Hope things get better soon, Christopher. Shared this with my family. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Heliopolis this morning. Take care.
