Ezra needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in London
Without my school-run minibus Ezra can't work; a $950 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 six 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 $950 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
• Labor charges: $280
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $400
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Ezra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Jakarta.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Ezra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update
Sending strength, Ezra. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Take care, Ezra. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Ezra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.

Sending love, Ezra. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 13 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
