For nine years I have run a barbershop in Jodhpur. In July, a break-in took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $320
• Initial stock: supplies: $120
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Kiran. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
Sending good thoughts. Small businesses are the heart of Jodhpur. Hope you're open again soon. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Juazeiro do Norte
You're not alone, Kiran. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
