Young-ho needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Young-ho has run a barbershop for four years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,200 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a barbershop in Suwon. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 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 $2,200 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $430
• Initial stock: supplies: $320
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,450
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
