Get Rasika back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Rasika drives for a living in Negombo, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Labor charges: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
