Start-up fund for Daniel: reopening a barbershop after floodwater
A barbershop in Manchester needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after floodwater.

For three years I have run a barbershop in Manchester. In September, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, 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 $2,150 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,000
• Initial stock: supplies: $540
• Shop repairs and licensing: $270
• Working capital for the first month: $340
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Manchester. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Good luck, Daniel. Small businesses are the heart of Manchester. Hope you're open again soon. God bless
