Benjamin needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in London
Without my school-run minibus Benjamin can't work; a $1,150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $1,150 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $570
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $240
• Towing and inspection: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care. Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Porto Alegre.
Take care, Benjamin. Hope the shop reopens soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Cox's Bazar.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Luxor but we're thinking of you. Thinking of London
