Jessica lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a long illness and repossession and needs $3,300 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For three years I have run a barbershop in Essen. In December, a long illness and repossession 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 7 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 $3,300 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,350
• Shop repairs and licensing: $350
• Initial stock: supplies: $600
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this, Jessica. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Mukono so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Essen.
Sending strength, Jessica. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Sending strength, Jessica. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Best of luck, Jessica. Shared it with a few friends
So sorry you're going through this, Jessica. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Arlington.
Stay strong, Jessica. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Keep going, Jessica. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Blessings!
Good luck, Jessica. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Frankfurt!
Praying for you, Jessica. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the shop reopens soon. Love from Lucknow!
Hang in there, Jessica. Hope the shop reopens soon!
