Komal has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $550 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Bengaluru. In July, 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 Monday, and I employed 3 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $350
• Initial stock: supplies: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Working capital for the first month: $25
Thanks for reading all this.

sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Ottawa so I could bring a meal. Take care
