Priya needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Salem
Priya drives for a living in Salem, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 eleven 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 $150 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $80
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
