Start-up fund for Brielle: reopening a barbershop after a storm that collapsed the roof
A barbershop in London needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a storm that collapsed the roof.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom662 views
For three years I have run a barbershop in London. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $2,300 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $560
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,400
• Working capital for the first month: $340
Thank you for reading my story.
Updates from Brielle
Thank you all. We're at 2% now ($55). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
2% there. the first invoice got paid this week. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($10 in total) the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
