Yusuf needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Yusuf has run a barbershop for six years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $650 will put it back on its feet.

For six years I have run a barbershop in Antalya. In June, a fire in the building 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 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 $650 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $420
• Initial stock: supplies: $145
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Yusuf
Update from Antalya: the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 14% thanks to 6 of you. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

Thank you. If you're in Antalya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
