I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $500 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $390 • Towing and inspection: $50 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $60 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
