Start-up fund for Supaporn: reopening a barbershop after the demolition of the market
A barbershop in Bang Khen needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after the demolition of the market.
🇹🇭 Thailand461 views
For three years I have run a barbershop in Bang Khen. In May, the demolition of the market took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 1 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $380
• Initial stock: supplies: $130
• Shop repairs and licensing: $80
• Working capital for the first month: $210
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
