Roberto needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Roberto has run a barbershop for nine years; a storm that collapsed the roof destroyed the equipment, and $500 will put it back on its feet.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Guarulhos. In March, a storm that collapsed the roof 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 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 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 $500 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $160
• Shop repairs and licensing: $65
• Initial stock: supplies: $275
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
