Wilma needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Södertälje
Wilma drives for a living in Södertälje, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $900 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $470
• Labor charges: $170
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $75
With deep gratitude,
Wilma

Wishing you peace, Wilma. Your post was clear and honest
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Dehiwala but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Hồ Chí Minh City this morning. God bless.
