Get Malsha back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund

Without my school-run minibus Malsha can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $300 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $145 • Labor charges: $80 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 • Towing and inspection: $40 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
