I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $250 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $190
• Labor charges: $20
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $15
Glad we found this place.

sending strength, Aisha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Thanks for sharing this, Aisha. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Marseille so I could bring a meal
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Thane.
Wishing you the best. Small businesses are the heart of Kano. Hope you're open again soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Kano.
hope things get better soon, Aisha. Shared it with a few friends
Thanks for sharing this, Aisha. Hope the shop reopens soon.
