Local Barber in need of community support

Hi, my name is Samantha and I am fundraising for my fiance, Matt. Matt is the lead barber of Bricktop Barbershop. Unfortunately, Matt was recently involved in an accident that resulted in a broken collarbone. This has left us in a difficult situation as we are attempting to finish construction of our new barbershop. Our business is one of the newest additions to the Beverly neighborhood, and so far we have been successful due to the support of our clients, friends, and family. Matt and I have put everything we have into this venture, and it is very important to us and the community. We have had to temporarily close our doors due to this setback and we hope to reopen with the love and continued support of our neighbors.

We are expecting significant medical debt due to the necessary surgery/recovery, as well as a significant loss of income. Our need for community support is crucial.

Though we expect Matt to make a full recovery within the next few months, we know this will be an up-hill battle financially. Please consider donating so that we may continue building our life and business together, which is, and will continue to be, an integral part of Beverly and the surrounding communities. Thank you. Please share!
