Help Igor restart a barbershop in Leeds after a fire in the building
Igor has run a barbershop for four years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $3,800 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a barbershop in Leeds. In April, a fire in the building 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 10 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 $3,800 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,950
• Initial stock: supplies: $780
• Shop repairs and licensing: $580
• Working capital for the first month: $490
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Igor. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Niterói but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Leeds.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Igor!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors comes first ($1,950) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Wishing you the best, Igor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
