Abril needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop

Abril has run a barbershop for four years; floodwater destroyed the equipment, and $2,000 will put it back on its feet.

Móstoles
For four years I have run a barbershop in Móstoles. In April, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 weeks. This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment. Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $2,000 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,150 • Initial stock: supplies: $250 • Shop repairs and licensing: $390 • Working capital for the first month: $210 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Abril?

      Thank you. If you're in Móstoles I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

    Small businesses are the heart of Móstoles. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
