Lucy needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Dar es Salaam

Without my school-run minibus Lucy can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the rear axle 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $200 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $120 • Towing and inspection: $15 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $65 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
