Back to business - Agnès's comeback in Lyon
A barbershop in Lyon needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a break-in.
🇫🇷 Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France1,013 views
For nine years I have run a barbershop in Lyon. In June, a break-in took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,700
• Initial stock: supplies: $370
• Shop repairs and licensing: $240
• Working capital for the first month: $490
With deep gratitude,
Agnès

Sending good thoughts, Agnès. Small businesses are the heart of Lyon. Hope you're open again soon.
Thinking of you and your family, Agnès. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
wishing you the best. Hope you make a strong comeback. We're a small family in Warsaw but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Lyon
Hope things get better soon, Agnès. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. I'll ask around and let you know
