For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Pasig. In August, 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 Thursday, 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $350 goes:
• Initial stock: supplies: $130
• Working capital for the first month: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $85
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Josefina. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Cairo.
How is Josefina doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Josefina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Manchester
Wishing you the best, Josefina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
