Help Juliet restart a barbershop in Bonny after a fire in the building
Juliet has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Bonny. In July, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $220
• Initial stock: supplies: $50
• Shop repairs and licensing: $100
• Working capital for the first month: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong, Juliet. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted.
Wishing you the best. Hope you make a strong comeback. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon, Juliet. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Pasig but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Pasig.
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in Thrissur this morning. Thinking of Bonny.
Take care. Hope the shop reopens soon. After 28 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Patna
