Help Natalia restart a barbershop in Toronto after a break-in
Natalia has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $1,850 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Toronto. In August, a break-in took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• Initial stock: supplies: $510
• Working capital for the first month: $670
• Shop repairs and licensing: $670
Thank you so much.

Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Thinking of Toronto
Hang in there, Natalia. Small businesses are the heart of Toronto. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Likoni.
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Toronto.
You're not alone, Natalia. This could happen to any of us. Love from Munich.
