My school-run minibus: Khoa's only way to earn a living
Without my school-run minibus Khoa cannot work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 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 nine 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): $210
• Labor charges: $65
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• Towing and inspection: $5
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
