Get Kwabena back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Kwabena drives for a living in Kumasi, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 2 children. 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 $250 goes:
• Labor charges: $60
• rear axle replacement (parts): $155
• Towing and inspection: $35
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Kilkenny.
You're not alone, Kwabena. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Leicester so I could bring a meal.
