Elena needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Elena has run a barbershop for four years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $2,400 will put it back on its feet.

For four years I have run a barbershop in Móstoles. In May, 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 Friday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $2,400 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $1,150
• Initial stock: supplies: $280
• Shop repairs and licensing: $450
• Working capital for the first month: $520
With deep gratitude,
Elena

looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Nagpur.
I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from San Jose
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from London
Hope things get better soon, Elena. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up!
This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Móstoles.
