Nevaeh needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop

A barbershop in Sacramento needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after floodwater.

Sacramento
For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Sacramento. In August, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $3,550 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,100 • Initial stock: supplies: $690 • Shop repairs and licensing: $480 • Working capital for the first month: $280 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Nevaeh

Updates from Nevaeh

  1. Update from Sacramento: we've started the first stage. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,104 in total) the plan for working capital for the first month is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

          Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. After 8 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

            Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best

              Thanks for sharing this, Nevaeh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
