My school-run minibus: Harini's only way to earn a living
Without my school-run minibus Harini can't work; a $200 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 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 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 $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $115
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Harini
Quick update: $136 raised so far (68%). I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Surat: the plan for labor charges is now scheduled. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending strength, Harini. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Sending love. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Polokwane donated after I showed her your page. Love from Polokwane!
