Help Antonio restart a barbershop in San Antonio after the demolition of the market

A barbershop in San Antonio needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after the demolition of the market.

San Antonio
For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in San Antonio. In June, 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 Friday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 8 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 $1,250 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $250 • Working capital for the first month: $610 • Initial stock: supplies: $390 With deep gratitude, Antonio

Updates from Antonio

  1. 67% there. I made the first payment toward initial stock: supplies. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($471 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. 49% there. I made the first payment toward initial stock: supplies. Thank you.
