Help Kaylee restart a barbershop in Geelong after a storm that collapsed the roof
A barbershop in Geelong needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇦🇺 Geelong, Victoria, Australia1,430 views
For four years I have run a barbershop in Geelong. In June, 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 Sunday, and I employed 2 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 $5,300 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $3,050
• Initial stock: supplies: $820
• Shop repairs and licensing: $630
• Working capital for the first month: $800
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family, Kaylee. Hope you get there.
Thanks for sharing this, Kaylee. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Nottingham.
Sending strength. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Yonkers.

Rooting for you, Kaylee. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
