Help Nolan restart a barbershop in New Orleans after floodwater
Nolan has run a barbershop for twelve years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $3,900 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a barbershop in New Orleans. In April, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $3,900 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,150
• Initial stock: supplies: $880
• Shop repairs and licensing: $500
• Working capital for the first month: $370
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
