Elias needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Elias has run a barbershop for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,700 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a barbershop in Düsseldorf. In May, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $3,700 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,150
• Initial stock: supplies: $410
• Shop repairs and licensing: $600
• Working capital for the first month: $540
Thank you so much.
