Üsküdar

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Üsküdar. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $750 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $430 • Working capital for the first month: $135 • Initial stock: supplies: $185 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Eda
