For six years I have run a barbershop in Bristol. In July, 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 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 $3,800 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,200 • Initial stock: supplies: $290 • Shop repairs and licensing: $600 • Working capital for the first month: $710 With deep gratitude, Kylie

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
