Help Nam replace the suspension and return to work
Without my school-run minibus Nam can't work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $300 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $180
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Quick update: $30 raised so far (10%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Hồ Chí Minh City: we've started the first stage. We're at 43% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 60% now ($180). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
