Matilda needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Tema
Without my school-run minibus Matilda can't work; a $150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $150 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $15
• suspension replacement (parts): $100
Thank you for reading my story.

How is Matilda doing now?
thinking of you and your family, Matilda. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Cairo so I could bring a meal.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from Saint-Denis.
wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
So sorry you're going through this, Matilda. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Matilda. Hope the shop reopens soon
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
