Help Adrian restart a barbershop in Sacramento after a storm that collapsed the roof
A barbershop in Sacramento needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Sacramento. In August, 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 3 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 $3,550 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,250
• Initial stock: supplies: $480
• Shop repairs and licensing: $280
• Working capital for the first month: $540
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Katowice.
Hang in there, Adrian. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
stay strong, Adrian. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Nairobi
Hope things get better soon, Adrian. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Take care, Adrian. Hope the shop reopens soon. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning
