Beatrice needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Beatrice has run a barbershop for fifteen years; the demolition of the market destroyed the equipment, and $2,550 will put it back on its feet.
🇮🇹 Palermo, Sicily, Italy624 views
For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Palermo. In August, 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 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.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,400
• Initial stock: supplies: $450
• Shop repairs and licensing: $370
• Working capital for the first month: $330
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this. Small businesses are the heart of Palermo. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Beatrice. Hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
