For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Phuket. 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 Monday, 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $750 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $430 • Initial stock: supplies: $140 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 • Working capital for the first month: $105 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Suthep

Updates from Suthep

  1. 59% there. the plan for initial stock: supplies is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Update from Phuket: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • sending love, Suthep. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Ottawa so I could bring a meal.

    • can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Phuket

        Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
