Get Mateusz back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Mateusz drives for a living in Wrocław, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 12 weeks.
🇵🇱 Wrocław, Lower Silesia, Poland1,022 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 twelve 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 $600 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $360
• Labor charges: $120
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $65
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Mateusz
Update from Wrocław: the plan for towing and inspection is now scheduled. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Wrocław!
Thank you. If you're in Wrocław I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Take care, Mateusz. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Wrocław.
Hope things get better soon, Mateusz. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Sending strength, Mateusz. Small businesses are the heart of Wrocław. Hope you're open again soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Wrocław.
Hope it all works out, Mateusz. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 19 people at work. Greetings from Nottingham.
hope things get better soon, Mateusz. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care!
Hope you make a strong comeback. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings!
