Start-up fund for Mei: reopening a barbershop after floodwater

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Tokyo. In February, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,200 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $380 • Working capital for the first month: $430 • Initial stock: supplies: $390 Every share and every dollar helps. - Mei
