Help Dinesh restart a barbershop in Kota after floodwater

Dinesh has run a barbershop for six years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

Kota
For six years I have run a barbershop in Kota. In August, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $380 • Initial stock: supplies: $145 • Working capital for the first month: $75 With deep gratitude, Dinesh

    Wishing you the best. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Please keep us posted. Love from Rennes

      Sending love, Dinesh. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        Thinking of you and your family. Small businesses are the heart of Kota. Hope you're open again soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care

          thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
