Start-up fund for Mrunal: reopening a barbershop after a fire in the building
Mrunal lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a fire in the building and needs $200 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Mumbai. In January, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $75
• Working capital for the first month: $45
• Initial stock: supplies: $80
Thank you so much.

Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mumbai.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Madina.
