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

Tuhin drives for a living in Rajshahi, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $250 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $145 • Labor charges: $45 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 • Towing and inspection: $20 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.

      Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

      • take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
