Habib needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Lucknow
Habib drives for a living in Lucknow, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 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 $200 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $170
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Habib!
Sure. The biggest one is suspension replacement (parts), $170. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.
Praying for you, Habib. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes!
hope things get better soon, Habib. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Thinking of Lucknow.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Habib?
Thank you. If you're in Lucknow I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
hope it all works out, Habib. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't give up. God bless.
best of luck, Habib. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 29 people at work
Sending strength, Habib. Hope you get there. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Québec.
Wishing you peace. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
sending love, Habib. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Dallas but we're thinking of you. Love from Dallas.
