Manal needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Salé
Without my school-run minibus Manal can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the suspension 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 two daughters and my mother. 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:
• suspension replacement (parts): $210
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $30
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best. Small businesses are the heart of Salé. Hope you're open again soon. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
so sorry you're going through this, Manal. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from George.
