Roman needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Roman has run a barbershop for nine years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Odesa. In April, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 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: $330
• Initial stock: supplies: $150
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Thanks for reading all this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Roman
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors is the biggest at $330. It helps to be asked.
So sorry you're going through this. Small businesses are the heart of Odesa. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Odesa.
Thinking of you, Roman. Looking forward to the next update. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
