Start-up fund for Noah: reopening a barbershop after a break-in

A barbershop in Gothenburg needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a break-in.

Gothenburg
For nine years I have run a barbershop in Gothenburg. In August, a break-in 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 6 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 $3,600 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,600 • Initial stock: supplies: $790 • Shop repairs and licensing: $470 • Working capital for the first month: $740 I hope life is good to you. - Noah

          Sending strength, Noah. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

            Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Laredo so I could bring a meal. All the best.
