For three years I have run a barbershop in Galway. 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 Friday, 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $1,200 goes: • Working capital for the first month: $250 • Shop repairs and licensing: $600 • Initial stock: supplies: $350 Thanks for reading all this.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Sorcha. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page.

      how is Sorcha doing now?

      • Wishing you the best, Sorcha. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Sacramento.

        • I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.

          • hope it all works out, Sorcha. Small businesses are the heart of Galway. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Galway.

            • Take care. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.

              • Good luck, Sorcha. Shared this with my family. Love from Novosibirsk.
