Start-up fund for Kendall: reopening a barbershop after the demolition of the market
Kendall has run a barbershop for twelve years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,200 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Belfast. In November, 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 Tuesday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $2,200 goes:
• Initial stock: supplies: $570
• Shop repairs and licensing: $440
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,190
If you're reading this, thank you.

So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Thinking of Belfast.
Take care. Hope you make a strong comeback. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Rooting for you, Kendall. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
Take care, Kendall. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Belfast.
Thinking of you, Kendall. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Best of luck, Kendall. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope February is when things finally get easier.
Stay strong. Hope the shop reopens soon. Put this on a community board in Medellín this morning. All the best.
