Priyanka needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Priyanka lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $650 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇮🇳 Delhi, India317 views
For three years I have run a barbershop in New Delhi. In August, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $650 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $440
• Initial stock: supplies: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $60
• Working capital for the first month: $85
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

- Quick response, great follow-up
The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Daegu.
Hope you get there. Sent it to 3 people at work. Thinking of New Delhi.
Thinking of you and your family, Priyanka. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
