Start-up fund for Pablo: reopening a barbershop after floodwater
A barbershop in Fort Worth needs help replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors after floodwater.
🇺🇸 Fort Worth, Texas, United States102 views
For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Fort Worth. In May, floodwater 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 1 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.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $2,400
• Initial stock: supplies: $670
• Working capital for the first month: $480
Glad we found this place.
