Rafael needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop

Rafael has run a barbershop for fifteen years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $150 will put it back on its feet.

For fifteen years I have run a barbershop in Taguig. In November, a fire in the building took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 2 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. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $150 goes: • Shop repairs and licensing: $45 • Initial stock: supplies: $65 • Working capital for the first month: $40 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    • Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Taguig
