Snehal needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop

Snehal has run a barbershop for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $150 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a barbershop in Pune. In September, 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $150 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $55 • Initial stock: supplies: $65 • Shop repairs and licensing: $30 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Sending strength, Snehal. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. Love from Gliwice.

          Small businesses are the heart of Pune. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Amritsar but we're thinking of you.
