Help Gerard Replace His Barber Kit & Finish School Strong

Hi, my name is Sonoyia and I’m reaching out on behalf of my son, Gerard. His entire barber kit, years worth of tools he’s worked hard to collect, was recently stolen near Bay View Place in Biloxi. The kit was in a silver briefcase and contained everything he needs to cut hair, attend school, and build his future.

Gerard is a dedicated student at barber school, set to graduate this October. He has made so many sacrifices to get this far, staying committed through every challenge and focused on building a better life not just for himself, but for his soon-to-be 2-year-old son, who is his greatest motivation. His goal is simple but powerful: to create a stable, fulfilling career and be a strong provider and example for his child.

Gerard graduated high school with a 3.5 GPA, and he has always been a respectful, driven, and thoughtful young man. Cutting hair isn’t just a job to him — it’s a passion, a purpose, and his path forward.

This theft was a painful setback. Without his barber kit, he can’t attend school or continue practicing. But with your support, we believe he can overcome this obstacle and finish strong.

We’re asking for help to raise funds for a replacement barber kit so Gerard can stay on track. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference, and even a share can go a long way.

Thank you so much for believing in Gerard and helping us turn this tough moment into a comeback.

With gratitude,

Sonoyia & Family
