Yusuke needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Shinjuku
Yusuke drives for a living in Shinjuku, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• Towing and inspection: $65
• rear axle replacement (parts): $945
Thank you so much.

Sending love, Yusuke. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Dhaka.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from São Paulo.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in La Plata this morning. Take care!
