Help Wanted of the Day: 89-year-old Aaron Biber has been cutting hair in Tottenham for decades.
Last year, Aaron lost his wife. This year, he lost his business. Rioters ransacked his barbershop, smashed windows, and stole hairdryers. “I will probably have to close because I haven’t got insurance and I can’t afford the repairs,” Aaron says.
“Not so fast,” responds the Internet. A website has been launched to help Aaron fix his shop. So far nearly £17,000 have been donated.

Please help give to a good cause, this and the sony building burning down causing hundreds of independent labels to lose thousands of pounds worth of stock are two of the most heart breaking stories I’ve read from the riots!
Whilst there is two sides to every story, and lessons need to be learnt from why the riots started, it is completely unacceptable to hit small independent, family run shops like this! They have enough struggle keeping open and afloat in this day and age with superstores continually under cutting them at every turn!
It’s times like this when places and people like this need people to give back, this guy has been giving to his community for decades, after the riots he didn’t ask for help, he just got now with it! Please if you can spare after pounds or whatever, donate it to this worthy cause, and if you can, just reblog this and help others know about this!
