I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $200 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Labor charges: $40
• suspension replacement (parts): $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you, Sunil. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope things get better soon, Sunil. Your post was clear and honest.
thinking of you, Sunil. Hope you get there.
Sending love, Sunil. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 23 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
