Get Joshua back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund

Without my school-run minibus Joshua can't work; a $210 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $210. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $210 goes: • Labor charges: $35 • fuel pump replacement (parts): $170 • Towing and inspection: $5 I hope life is good to you. - Joshua

    Take care. Small businesses are the heart of Angeles. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Nha Trang but we're thinking of you.

      Sending strength, Joshua. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Jakarta Selatan.

        Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
