Mauricio needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Mauricio has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $700 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Bogotá. In August, a long illness and repossession took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Monday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 3 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 $700 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $260
• Initial stock: supplies: $180
• Shop repairs and licensing: $105
• Working capital for the first month: $155
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mauricio?
Thank you. If you're in Bogotá I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Aurangabad.
