Daniel needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Epe
Daniel's my school-run minibus is Daniel's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $200.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $200 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $75
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $45
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
