My school-run minibus: Gunawan's only way to earn a living

Without my school-run minibus Gunawan can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 two daughters and my mother. 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. 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: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $110 • Labor charges: $55 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $30 • Towing and inspection: $5 Thanks for reading all this.

          • you're not alone, Gunawan. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Utrecht so I could bring a meal. God bless.
