A barbershop in Leicester needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a storm that collapsed the roof.

For three years I have run a barbershop in Leicester. In July, 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $2,100 goes:
โข Working capital for the first month: $240
โข Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,100
โข Initial stock: supplies: $760
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Vivian. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
sending love, Vivian. Shared it with a few friends
thinking of you and your family, Vivian. Hope you make a strong comeback.
so sorry you're going through this, Vivian. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
