£90 needed for van repairs

I has been job searching for 6 months but has not found work. He is also trying to repay debts and is struggling to make ends meet. He has been a self employed handyman and wants to do this again but needs to repair his van to make this possible. He so wants to support himself doing a job he is good at and this would also give him the satisfaction of providing a quality service for his clients. A gift of £150 so he can repair his van would make all of the difference to him being able to begin to do that again.
