Start-up fund for Fitri: reopening a barbershop after the demolition of the market

Fitri has run a barbershop for nine years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $200 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Bekasi. In June, the demolition of the market took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 3 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. I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go. Where the $200 goes: • Initial stock: supplies: $60 • Shop repairs and licensing: $55 • Working capital for the first month: $85 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Fitri

    you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

      Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. After 22 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Bekasi.

      • Olga Nadia Pavlenko

        thinking of you. Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Bekasi.
