Start-up fund for Alexander: reopening a barbershop after floodwater
Alexander lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to floodwater and needs $2,150 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Reading. In July, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,150 goes:
• Initial stock: supplies: $640
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $410
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Belém
