Tuft Barbershop Relief Fund
Donation protected
Dear Tuft Family,
We hope this finds you safe and healthy under these unprecedented and trying circumstances.
You're likely being inundated with messages related to the confusing nature of these times, so we apologize in advance for yet another one, but because we center ourselves around all of you as our community, we felt it was necessary to share some upsetting news. Our Founder, Miles Martinez, has tested positive with a very serious case of COVID-19. He has been in the hospital for the past 13 days, the last five of which he has been in the ICU on a ventilator in a medically induced coma. We are hopeful that Miles will make a full recovery, and ask that you please keep him in your prayers.
Due to Miles’ condition, our size, and the nature of the barbershop business, times are tough, especially for our barbers who so passionately dedicate themselves to our shop daily. We are doing what we can to support them, so we’d like to ask you - our family, our community - to consider donating your usual haircut cost (or more!) to our #gofundme campaign. Your contributions will help our shop, our barbers, Miles and our community get through this very unusual and trying time.
The majority of the proceeds will go towards our barbers and the shop’s upkeep.
Our connection with you has been the driving force behind our existence since we opened up shop. While we miss seeing all of you, we hope you will continue to practice social distancing and stay as safe as possible until this crisis has passed.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to better days with you soon!
