Everly needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Everly has run a barbershop for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $3,950 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in St. Louis. In June, the demolition of the market took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $3,950 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,200
• Initial stock: supplies: $490
• Shop repairs and licensing: $400
• Working capital for the first month: $860
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending love, Everly. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 26 people at work. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Everly. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Wishing you peace. Small businesses are the heart of St. Louis. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
wishing you peace, Everly. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal.
Rooting for you, Everly. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Cardiff

Rooting for you, Everly. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
