Help keep a dream alive for the community

Hello, my name is Lee Klipper Handz, and I am the owner of the inspiring vision of Studio 24k Grooming Lounge. For inspiration of the youth as well as a place to learn educational skills and hopes and dreams for every and anyone. A barbershop has been a place where people come not only for services you provide, haircuts, mentorship, community connection, food donations, and a place to learn and grow with a skill for a trade but also for a sense of belonging.

Recently, I’ve been gifted by the Lord different opportunities for buildings to help keep this dream afloat, but unexpected financial challenges are making it difficult to be able to make this a reality of a shop running. These include startup costs, first month's rent, utilities, equipment, and supplies. Without support, I risk losing the space or the dream that so many people benefit towards not only for the youth but for your everyday citizens that so many in our community rely on.

I am setting a goal of $8,500 to cover these shop expenses and keep serving the people who depend on this space. Every contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward keeping the shop open and continuing to provide affordable services, community programs, youth mentorship, etc.

Thank you for your support—it means the world to me, and together we can keep this dream alive.
