Get Nina back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Nina drives for a living in Breda, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Labor charges: $210
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $870
With deep gratitude,
Nina

praying for you, Nina. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Los Angeles.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Nina?
Thank you. If you're in Breda I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope things get better soon, Nina. Your post was clear and honest. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Nina. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Breda
Sending strength, Nina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Hope you make a strong comeback. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
