Start-up fund for Tiago: reopening a barbershop after a long illness and repossession
Tiago has run a barbershop for twelve years; a long illness and repossession destroyed the equipment, and $750 will put it back on its feet.

For twelve years I have run a barbershop in Campinas. In August, a long illness and repossession took clippers, chairs and mirrors. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 3 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 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 $750 goes:
• Replacing clippers, chairs and mirrors: $460
• Initial stock: supplies: $135
• Shop repairs and licensing: $155
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
