Back to business - Ximena's comeback in Coyoacán
Ximena has run a barbershop for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $450 will put it back on its feet.
🇲🇽 Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico383 views
For four years I have run a barbershop in Coyoacán. In March, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 10 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 $450 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $65
• Shop repairs and licensing: $160
• Initial stock: supplies: $225
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
