Ziad needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
A barbershop in Mecca needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after floodwater.
🇸🇦 Mecca, Makkah, Saudi Arabia1,710 views
For six years I have run a barbershop in Mecca. In February, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Shop repairs and licensing: $370
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $950
• Working capital for the first month: $380
Glad we found this place.

Take care, Ziad. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
So sorry you're going through this, Ziad. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Surabaya this morning.
keep going, Ziad. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ziad
It's all in the list in the story. shop repairs and licensing is the big one at $370, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Hang in there, Ziad. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Mecca.
sending strength. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Petrópolis so I could bring a meal. God bless.
You're not alone, Ziad. Looking forward to the next update.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
