Help Luis restart a barbershop in Dortmund after floodwater
Luis lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to floodwater and needs $3,150 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇩🇪 Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany3,685 views
For nine years I have run a barbershop in Dortmund. In June, floodwater 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 3 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 $3,150 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,550
• Shop repairs and licensing: $340
• Working capital for the first month: $260

hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
