Help Keep our Buses in Business STOP VANDALISM

Donation protected
Hello my fellow friends and community. My name is Luis, and my family and I own a small school bus company called ASTORIA EXPRESS TRANSIT for the past 30 years + here in Astoria,Queens. We are facing a difficult moment financially due to our buses continously getting vandelised at our parking lot. Our first huge vandalism occured April 2nd, where all our 8 buses and vehicles got damaged by a group of teenagers. Our estimated damages came out to $100,000! The worst thing is the law can't do much with teens and adolescents in these cases. We feel trapped. We have already informed the yard owners of the situation, contacted the "NCO" Neighborhood Coordinator Officers ; put up a fence with barbwires and still till this day we just experienced another few damages in our buses during the weekend. We have spoken to our insurance company, applied to loans and grants. But as of now haven't had any financial luck and we can't wait any longer. The vandalism is coming much quicker than the help. So we are praying as a family & family business for a miracle and your help. To keep our small company afloat so we can continue to work and provide for our community , our children and our workers.
