Get Christian back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Christian's my school-run minibus is Christian's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,550.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States1,848 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 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 $1,550 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $890
• Labor charges: $230
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $310
• Towing and inspection: $120
Thank you for reading my story.
