I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 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 $300 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $230
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Kweku. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Kweku. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kweku
It's all in the list in the story. towing and inspection is the big one at $20, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
Hope it all works out, Kweku. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Hope it all works out, Kweku. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Suwon.
sending love, Kweku. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
Rooting for you, Kweku. Hope you make a strong comeback. Sent it to 8 people at work.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Tema.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Guadalupe donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Good luck, Kweku. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Hope it all works out. Hope the shop reopens soon. It's not much but it's yours.
