For nine years I have run a barbershop in Buenos Aires. In February, 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 Thursday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $800 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $410
• Initial stock: supplies: $160
• Shop repairs and licensing: $160
• Working capital for the first month: $70
I hope life is good to you.
- Miguel

Good luck, Miguel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Iași
best of luck. Hope you get there. Greetings from Rome.
Wishing you the best, Miguel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Buenos Aires.
