I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 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 $250 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $130 • Labor charges: $65 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $45 • Towing and inspection: $10 Thank you for reading my story.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Small update. $30 so far, the plan for road tax and insurance renewal is now scheduled.
