Start-up fund for Rukhsar: reopening a barbershop after floodwater
Rukhsar lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to floodwater and needs $550 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Mardan. In August, floodwater 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 2 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 $550 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $360
• Initial stock: supplies: $75
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Working capital for the first month: $60
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Poznań but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Latina but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Latina.
