Lata needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Lata has run a barbershop for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $600 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a barbershop in Thane. In July, 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 12 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 $600 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $380
• Initial stock: supplies: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $45
• Working capital for the first month: $100
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Lata. Hope you get there
Thinking of you, Lata. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Thane.
