For three years I have run a barbershop in Manchester. In October, a break-in took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $3,950 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,850 • Initial stock: supplies: $710 • Shop repairs and licensing: $165 • Working capital for the first month: $225 I hope life is good to you. - Asher
