Los Angeles
For three years I have run a barbershop in Los Angeles. In March, a long illness and repossession took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, 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 $1,450 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $400 • Initial stock: supplies: $480 • Working capital for the first month: $570 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Jade

  1. 60% there. the plan for initial stock: supplies is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($625 in total) I made the first payment toward shop repairs and licensing. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. We're at 15% thanks to 6 of you. we've started the first stage. More news soon.

      Keep going. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
