Young-ja needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Daegu
Young-ja drives for a living in Daegu, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $400 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $135
• Labor charges: $155
• Towing and inspection: $110
Thank you so much.

sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
