My school-run minibus: Anton's only way to earn a living
Anton drives for a living in Moscow, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the rear axle 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $350 goes:
• Labor charges: $70
• rear axle replacement (parts): $240
• Towing and inspection: $40
Glad we found this place.

rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to New York so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Auckland!
