Campinas
For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Campinas. In May, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Sunday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,000 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $430 • Initial stock: supplies: $250 • Shop repairs and licensing: $160 • Working capital for the first month: $160 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Leandro

Updates from Leandro

  1. Small update. $482 so far, the plan for initial stock: supplies is now scheduled.

  2. We're at 27% thanks to 6 of you. I made the first payment toward replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors. More news soon.

          is there anything that isn't money that would help Leandro?

            Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors, advice is welcome too. Good question.
