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, Germany3,686 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
Thinking of you and your family, Luis. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Dortmund.
