Angelo lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a fire in the building and needs $500 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇵🇭 Philippines1,285 views
For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Iloilo City. In October, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 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 $500 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $230
• Working capital for the first month: $135
• Initial stock: supplies: $135
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

this could happen to any of us. Love from Riyadh!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Angelo
Sure. The biggest one is replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors, $230. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Biratnagar so I could bring a meal
thinking of you, Angelo. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Bandung.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Iloilo City.
Stay strong, Angelo. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Angelo. Small businesses are the heart of Iloilo City. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Iloilo City.
thinking of you, Angelo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 39 people at work. Love from Comilla.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Keep going. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Iloilo City.
stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Phoenix donated after I showed her your page
Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Puebla.
Hang in there, Angelo. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
