Get Hugo back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Hugo drives for a living in Seville, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 three 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 $1,300 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $950
• Labor charges: $170
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $150
• Towing and inspection: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
