Get Büşra back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Büşra drives for a living in Duisburg, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 4 weeks.
🇩🇪 North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany1,378 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Labor charges: $240
• suspension replacement (parts): $550
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from București
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Büşra
Labor charges is $240 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope it all works out, Büşra. Small businesses are the heart of Duisburg. Hope you're open again soon. All the best
sending love, Büşra. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Detroit so I could bring a meal. All the best.
sending strength, Büşra. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Praying for you, Büşra. Hope you get there.
