Get Surafel back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Surafel drives for a living in Addis Ababa, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $205. 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 four 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 $205 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $140
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5
Thank you so much.
