My school-run minibus: Theodore's only way to earn a living
Theodore drives for a living in Los Angeles, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Labor charges: $320
• Towing and inspection: $95
• suspension replacement (parts): $985
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
