My school-run minibus: Binita's only way to earn a living
Without my school-run minibus Binita can't work; a $255 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $255. 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 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 $255 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong, Binita. Hope this works out for you.
Keep going, Binita. This could happen to any of us
Best of luck, Binita. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hang in there, Binita. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 12 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Aurangabad.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Kano.
