Help Launch UGN Barber Academy – A School That Builds Future

My name is Janet Maynor.

I’m the founder of U Got Next Barbershop, and now, I’m fighting with everything I have to open the UGN Barber Academy in Douglasville, GA.

This dream was never just about me.

It’s about every young person who needs a second chance.

It’s about the single mom trying to find a way to provide.

It’s about the young man who thought he’d never be good at anything until someone put clippers in his hand.

I have poured my heart, my soul, and nearly $70,000 of my own money into building this academy—brick by brick, hour by hour, sacrifice by sacrifice.

I believed if I worked hard enough, if I stayed faithful enough, it would all come together.

But life threw me a curveball.

Unexpected code violations.

Thousands of dollars in repairs I never saw coming.

And now, a $26,000 demand from my landlord.

I’m standing at a crossroads.

I need $75,000 to finish what I started.

Not for me—

But for them.

For every student waiting to walk through those doors.

For every life that will be changed forever by the power of a haircut, the dignity of a skill, the chance at a future.

I’m not too proud to say: I need help.

I can’t do this alone.

If you believe in lifting others up… if you believe that sometimes all someone needs is a chance—

I’m asking you to help me finish this.

Every single donation matters.

Every prayer, every share, every act of kindness gets us one step closer.

Help me open these doors.

Help me change lives.

Help me keep this dream alive.

From the bottom of my heart—

Thank you.
