Get Paola back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Paola drives for a living in Palermo, and a broken engine head gasket has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
Updates from Paola
Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($185). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($60 in total) I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

this could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Lyon this morning. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Paola. Small businesses are the heart of Palermo. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from London.
