Help Karina replace the suspension and return to work
Karina's my school-run minibus is Karina's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $350.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $350 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $160
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $100
• Towing and inspection: $25
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
