I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,300 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $230 • Towing and inspection: $120 • suspension replacement (parts): $950 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Mackenzie

    Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Jakarta Barat.

      Thanks for sharing this, Mackenzie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Hồ Chí Minh City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Embakasi.
