Arianna needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Miami
Arianna drives for a living in Miami, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,400
• Labor charges: $175
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• Towing and inspection: $185

Hope things get better soon, Arianna. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Pune this morning. All the best.
This could happen to any of us. Love from Los Angeles
You're not alone, Arianna. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Thanks for sharing this, Arianna. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
wishing you peace. Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Glasgow
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 14 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
