Get Si-woo back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Si-woo drives for a living in Suwon, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $700 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $480
• Labor charges: $115
• Towing and inspection: $105
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Suwon.
Thank you. If you're in Suwon I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
thinking of you, Si-woo. Hope this works out for you. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in San Antonio donated after I showed her your page.
Best of luck, Si-woo. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Hang in there. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Suwon
