Get Irena back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Without my school-run minibus Irena cannot work; a $700 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $700 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $430
• Labor charges: $180
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
• Towing and inspection: $10
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

any update on how things are going in Poznań?
Hope it all works out, Irena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Seoul.
take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Poznań
Hope you make a strong comeback. Take care.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Udaipur donated after I showed her your page.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
