Santiago needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop

Santiago has run a barbershop for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $4,500 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a barbershop in Atlanta. In March, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $4,500 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,550 • Initial stock: supplies: $850 • Shop repairs and licensing: $500 • Working capital for the first month: $600 Glad we found this place. - Santiago
