Henry lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a fire in the building and needs $450 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For six years I have run a barbershop in Abuja. In June, a fire in the building 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $450 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $260
• Initial stock: supplies: $45
• Shop repairs and licensing: $40
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Thanks for reading all this.
