My school-run minibus: Beatrice's only way to earn a living
Beatrice drives for a living in Madina, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $200 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
