Oisin needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Kilkenny
Oisin drives for a living in Kilkenny, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $155
• Towing and inspection: $145
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Oisin
Quick update: $142 raised so far (9%). the plan for towing and inspection is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Quick update: $79 raised so far (5%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Oisin
Update from Kilkenny: we've started the first stage. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
