Sacramento
For four years I have run a barbershop in Sacramento. In July, 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 Wednesday, 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $4,000 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,200 • Initial stock: supplies: $710 • Shop repairs and licensing: $600 • Working capital for the first month: $490 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Bo
