Help Min-seo restart a barbershop in Mapo after a fire in the building

Min-seo has run a barbershop for nine years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,650 will put it back on its feet.

Mapo
For nine years I have run a barbershop in Mapo. In June, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 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 $1,650 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $340 • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,050 • Working capital for the first month: $260 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Min-seo

      Hang in there. Small businesses are the heart of Mapo. Hope you're open again soon. My neighbor in Palermo donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
