Get Cristian back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Cristian drives for a living in Anaheim, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 four 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 $1,900 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $180
• Towing and inspection: $165
• suspension replacement (parts): $1,555
Thanks for reading all this.
