Sophie has run a barbershop for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $3,450 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Cambridge. In January, the demolition of the market 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 8 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 $3,450 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $530
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,150
• Working capital for the first month: $770
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
