For three years I have run a barbershop in Sukkur. In May, 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 Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Initial stock: supplies: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.

Any update on how things are going in Sukkur?
Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
is there anything that isn't money that would help Irfan?
Thank you. If you're in Sukkur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
hope it all works out, Irfan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Sukkur.
Wishing you the best, Irfan. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Chattogram so I could bring a meal
