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

Frankfurt
For nine years I have run a barbershop in Frankfurt. 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 Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $2,900 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,300 • Initial stock: supplies: $500 • Shop repairs and licensing: $530 • Working capital for the first month: $570 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Theresa

              Take care. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
