Soledad needs clippers, chairs and mirrors to reopen a barbershop
Soledad lost clippers, chairs and mirrors to the demolition of the market and needs $1,150 to reopen a barbershop and support the family.
🇲🇽 Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico1,609 views
For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Coyoacán. In June, the demolition of the market took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Tuesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 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 $1,150 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $620
• Initial stock: supplies: $240
• Shop repairs and licensing: $195
• Working capital for the first month: $95
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone, Soledad. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope it all works out, Soledad. Small businesses are the heart of Coyoacán. Hope you're open again soon. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Praying for you, Soledad. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal. Love from Macon.
