For nine years I have run a barbershop in Bristol. In August, the demolition of the market 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 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 $1,000 goes:
• Initial stock: supplies: $470
• Working capital for the first month: $260
• Shop repairs and licensing: $270
With deep gratitude,
Michelle

So sorry you're going through this, Michelle. Shared it with a few friends. After 25 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Bristol.
hope things get better soon, Michelle. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Mandaue donated after I showed her your page. Love from Mandaue.
Sending love, Michelle. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
