For six years I have run a barbershop in Bacolod. In September, a storm that collapsed the roof took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $600 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Initial stock: supplies: $95
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $420
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Gerald. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Tampa.
