Help Ximena restart a barbershop in Los Angeles after a storm that collapsed the roof
Ximena lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to a storm that collapsed the roof and needs $3,650 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
Updates from Ximena
Good news. Because of your gifts ($774 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $293 raised so far (8%). the plan for shop repairs and licensing is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
