Teresa needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
A barbershop in Manchester needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after the demolition of the market.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Manchester. In August, 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $3,800 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,600
• Initial stock: supplies: $530
• Shop repairs and licensing: $390
• Working capital for the first month: $280
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you. Small businesses are the heart of Manchester. Hope you're open again soon. Sent it to 17 people at work. All the best.
Hope the shop reopens soon. My neighbor in Santarém donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Praying for you, Teresa. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Warangal this morning
this could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Teresa. Small businesses are the heart of Manchester. Hope you're open again soon. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Teresa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
So sorry you're going through this, Teresa. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Chattanooga.
Sending good thoughts, Teresa. Your post was clear and honest.
Praying for you, Teresa. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Manchester.
