Back to business - Alejandra's comeback in Bogotá
Alejandra lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to floodwater and needs $800 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇨🇴 Bogotá D.C., Colombia940 views
For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Bogotá. In July, floodwater took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $500
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
• Initial stock: supplies: $145
With deep gratitude,
Alejandra
