Eva needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Knoxville
Without my school-run minibus Eva can't work; a $1,650 repair would put her back on the road.
🇺🇸 Knoxville, Tennessee, United States2,204 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 family of five. 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 $1,650 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $980
• Labor charges: $330
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $165
• Towing and inspection: $175
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Verona but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Rooting for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Mississauga
Hope things get better soon, Eva. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Eva. Hope the shop reopens soon. God bless.
Take care. Hope the shop reopens soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Small businesses are the heart of Knoxville. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Hawassa.

You're not alone, Eva. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
