Back to business - Teresa's comeback in Zapopan
Teresa lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to the demolition of the market and needs $1,200 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Zapopan. In July, the demolition of the market 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 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 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 $1,200 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $770
• Initial stock: supplies: $90
• Shop repairs and licensing: $210
• Working capital for the first month: $130
Thank you so much.

Good luck, Teresa. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
