My school-run minibus: Deepa's only way to earn a living
Deepa drives for a living in Dwarka, and a broken clutch assembly has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $250 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $25
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
