Start-up fund for Rafael: reopening a barbershop after a fire in the building

Rafael has run a barbershop for twelve years; a fire in the building destroyed the equipment, and $900 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Coyoacán. 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 Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 6 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 $900 goes: • Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $580 • Initial stock: supplies: $165 • Shop repairs and licensing: $75 • Working capital for the first month: $80 Glad we found this place. - Rafael
