For nine years I have run a barbershop in Manchester. In July, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $3,650 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,450
• Initial stock: supplies: $570
• Shop repairs and licensing: $380
• Working capital for the first month: $250
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
