Help Oskar restart a barbershop in Manchester after a storm that collapsed the roof
Oskar has run a barbershop for three years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,750 will put it back on its feet.

For three years I have run a barbershop in Manchester. In August, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $480
• Working capital for the first month: $280
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $990
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Oskar!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. shop repairs and licensing comes first ($480) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

Thanks for sharing this, Oskar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Fresno but we're thinking of you.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
