Start-up fund for Kunal: reopening a barbershop after a long illness and repossession

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Mumbai. In March, a long illness and repossession 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 2 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $600 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $340 • Initial stock: supplies: $100 • Shop repairs and licensing: $60 • Working capital for the first month: $100 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Kunal
