Sergio needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Bergamo
Sergio drives for a living in Bergamo, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.
🇮🇹 Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy766 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $800. 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 six 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 $800 goes:
• Labor charges: $100
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
• suspension replacement (parts): $490
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

any update on how things are going in Bergamo?
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
wishing you the best, Sergio. I hope things turn around soon!
Hang in there, Sergio. Hope the shop reopens soon. My husband and I read this together.
You're not alone, Sergio. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Paris but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your family, Sergio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Tijuana.
Hope the shop reopens soon. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
