Hala needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Hala lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $700 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For six years I have run a barbershop in Shubra. 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 Sunday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $700 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $450
• Initial stock: supplies: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $70
• Working capital for the first month: $115
With deep gratitude,
Hala

any update on how things are going in Shubra?
take care. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
You're not alone, Hala. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Shared this with my family. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Rohini.
Keep going, Hala. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Hala. Small businesses are the heart of Shubra. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Jacksonville but we're thinking of you.
