Help Lourdes restart a barbershop in Quezon City after floodwater
Lourdes lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to floodwater and needs $800 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines740 views
For four years I have run a barbershop in Quezon City. In March, floodwater 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 3 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 $800 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $100
• Shop repairs and licensing: $95
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $605
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lourdes.
Hope you get there. Thinking of Quezon City
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in Hải Phòng this morning. Thinking of Quezon City
good luck, Lourdes. Shared this with my family.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lourdes?
Thank you. If you're in Quezon City I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

Hope it all works out, Lourdes. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
thanks for sharing this, Lourdes. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
You're not alone, Lourdes. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Coimbatore.
Stay strong, Lourdes. Shared it with a few friends.
You're not alone, Lourdes. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Take care.
