Wyatt needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Wyatt has run a barbershop for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $1,150 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a barbershop in Houston. In July, a storm that collapsed the roof took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 2 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $470
• Initial stock: supplies: $430
• Working capital for the first month: $250
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
