Help Wojciech restart a barbershop in Poznań after a fire in the building

Wojciech has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $1,250 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Poznań. In June, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $1,250 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $620 • Initial stock: supplies: $270 • Shop repairs and licensing: $210 • Working capital for the first month: $150 Every share and every dollar helps. - Wojciech
