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

Without my school-run minibus Yulia can't work; a $450 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 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 $450 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $310 • Labor charges: $85 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $50 • Towing and inspection: $5 With deep gratitude, Yulia

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yulia?

      Thank you. If you're in Odesa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
