I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $900 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $450 • Labor charges: $220 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $145 • Towing and inspection: $85 If you're reading this, thank you. - Harumi

Updates from Harumi

Good news. Because of your gifts ($343 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($153). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection.
We're at 4% thanks to 3 of you. the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled. More news soon.
