This equipment had been used for his small business as well as provide additional income for his family. 

Rickey not only used his barber equipment as a means of generating revenue, but he also donated his services to the community.

Rickey was just starting to expand his skills by working towards licensure and cutting hair for friends, family and other is the community, when his clippers were stolen.
