We’re reaching out to our community on behalf of our dear friend and coworker, LouLou.

A barber with heart, hustle, and deep care for her clients, LouLou has been a constant at our shop for years. She’s been taking care of her clients with unmatched skill, dedication, and kindness. No matter what was going on, you could count on Lou to be at the shop, ready with a smile and steady hands. Even during the height of the pandemic, LouLou found ways to safely continue serving her loyal clients. That’s just the kind of person she is: reliable, hardworking, and full of heart.

Unfortunately, in mid-June, Lou fell seriously ill and hasn’t been able to work since. The sudden nature of her illness and the mounting medical expenses have taken a serious toll, creating uncertainty about the months ahead. Despite everything, Lou is staying strong, focusing on her recovery and taking care of her children. But she needs our help.

We’re setting up this GoFundMe to rally around Lou as a community, the same way she’s always shown up for us. All funds raised will go directly to support her medical needs and help her get through this incredibly difficult time.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting in Lou’s chair, chatting with her, or being on the receiving end of her warmth and generosity, please consider donating or sharing this page. Every little bit helps.

Thank you for supporting LouLou. Let’s show her how much her community loves her.

– With love and gratitude,

The Black Anchor Barbershop Team
