Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. After 26 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Good luck, Nao. Shared it with a few friends
how is Nao doing now?
Best of luck, Nao. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from San Diego.
rooting for you, Nao. Small businesses are the heart of Yokohama. Hope you're open again soon
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nao.
Sure. The biggest one is transmission replacement (parts), $930. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Shinjuku but we're thinking of you.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Yokohama
Wishing you peace, Nao. Hope the shop reopens soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Manchester.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Salvador.
Good luck, Nao. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending good thoughts, Nao. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Arlington.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 10 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Jodhpur.
