Don't let them cut us short

Greetings: To clients and friends alike

Covid-19 has caused unimaginable damage both personally and professionally in my vocation as a barber in Philadelphia’s beloved Washington Square West. Despite the obvious hardship globally, “the city of brotherly love" tax/revenue department is forcing me to consider closing my 20-year-old establishment due to their unwillingness to reconsider back taxes due to the financial devastation my business and other businesses alike have faced over the course of the past two and a half years. Service businesses such as mine have especially felt the weight of Covid-19’s wake with the shift in consumer spending. It pains me but, humbly, I’m forced to call upon my friends & community for any monetary gifts that would help prevent the closing of 2bgroomed studios barbershop. We love our clients and the craft that has brought us together over the past 20 years. As a businessman, a father, and a member of the community, please help us stay.

I want to thank you in advance to all who can donate and assure you that your contribution will allow me to pay it forward to another in need.

Gratefully,

Jahmal Rhaney
