Sarah needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Springfield

Without my school-run minibus Sarah can't work; a $2,100 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,100. 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 twelve 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 $2,100 goes: • Towing and inspection: $145 • rear axle replacement (parts): $1,650 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $305 Thanks for reading all this.
