Help Janani restart a barbershop in Thane after a break-in
Janani has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇳 Thane, Maharashtra, India1,045 views
For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Thane. In July, a break-in 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $370
• Initial stock: supplies: $80
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $55
With deep gratitude,
Janani
