Help Tadhg restart a barbershop in Kilkenny after the demolition of the market
Tadhg lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to the demolition of the market and needs $4,350 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Kilkenny. In June, 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 Saturday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,750
• Initial stock: supplies: $580
• Shop repairs and licensing: $590
• Working capital for the first month: $430
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

How is Tadhg doing now?
Sending good thoughts, Tadhg. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Kilkenny
shared it with a few friends. Love from Salvador.
Hope it all works out, Tadhg. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Stay strong, Tadhg. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kilkenny
