Get Amira back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Amira drives for a living in Heliopolis, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $300 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $230
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending strength. Small businesses are the heart of Heliopolis. Hope you're open again soon.
So sorry you're going through this, Amira. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Hope the shop reopens soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Brampton.
Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Heliopolis.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Rawalpindi so I could bring a meal. All the best.
