Help Tunde restart a barbershop in Lagos after floodwater
A barbershop in Lagos needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after floodwater.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,250 views
For three years I have run a barbershop in Lagos. In August, 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 7 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $300
• Initial stock: supplies: $95
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Tunde. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
wishing you peace, Tunde. Small businesses are the heart of Lagos. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Take care, Tunde. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Lagos
Hope it all works out, Tunde. I hope things turn around soon.
