Start-up fund for Alejandra: reopening a barbershop after a fire in the building
A barbershop in Buenos Aires needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after a fire in the building.

For nine years I have run a barbershop in Buenos Aires. In August, 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 Sunday, and I employed 3 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $800 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $420
• Initial stock: supplies: $115
• Shop repairs and licensing: $140
• Working capital for the first month: $125
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
