Help Everett restart a barbershop in Anaheim after a storm that collapsed the roof
Everett lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $3,000 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇺🇸 Anaheim, California, United States1,420 views
For four years I have run a barbershop in Anaheim. In May, 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 Monday, and I employed 2 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 $3,000 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $300
• Initial stock: supplies: $310
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,390
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Everett?
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
thinking of you and your family, Everett. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Keep going, Everett. Shared this with my family. Blessings
Take care, Everett. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
