Reagan needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop

Reagan has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $3,200 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Dallas. In July, a long illness and repossession took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $3,200 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,700 • Initial stock: supplies: $700 • Shop repairs and licensing: $360 • Working capital for the first month: $440 Thank you so much. - Reagan

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Reagan?
