Ivy needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Kingston
Ivy drives for a living in Kingston, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $400 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $30
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $320
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
