Get Mateo back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Without my school-run minibus Mateo can't work; a $750 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $750. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $750 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $360
• Towing and inspection: $150
• Labor charges: $240
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Mardan.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
thinking of you, Mateo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Kampala this morning. Take care
