Darunee needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Phuket

Without my school-run minibus Darunee can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 ten 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $250 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $70 • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $130 • Towing and inspection: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Darunee
