Graciela needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
A barbershop in Mendoza needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a long illness and repossession.

For six years I have run a barbershop in Mendoza. In July, a long illness and repossession took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 2 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 $700 goes:
• Initial stock: supplies: $130
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $490
• Working capital for the first month: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Graciela
Good news. Because of your gifts ($296 in total) the plan for initial stock: supplies is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
28% there. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

Sending love, Graciela. Small businesses are the heart of Mendoza. Hope you're open again soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
