Grace needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Grace has run a barbershop for twelve years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Ikeja. In July, 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 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $380
• Initial stock: supplies: $55
• Shop repairs and licensing: $50
• Working capital for the first month: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Grace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to New Delhi so I could bring a meal. Take care
