For six years I have run a barbershop in Seoul. In September, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Friday, 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $2,400 goes: โ€ข Initial stock: supplies: $380 โ€ข Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,550 โ€ข Shop repairs and licensing: $470 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
