Get Héctor back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Without my school-run minibus Héctor can't work; a $460 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $460. 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 nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $460 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $340
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• Towing and inspection: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
