Francisco needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Francisco has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a break-in destroyed the equipment, and $1,350 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Veracruz. In July, a break-in 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 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 $1,350 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $970
• Initial stock: supplies: $185
• Shop repairs and licensing: $90
• Working capital for the first month: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Francisco. Small businesses are the heart of Veracruz. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
