Start-up fund for Cameron: reopening a barbershop after a long illness and repossession
Cameron has run a barbershop for four years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $2,700 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a barbershop in Los Angeles. In June, 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 Tuesday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Initial stock: supplies: $510
• Shop repairs and licensing: $610
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,580
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope the shop reopens soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
