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

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the rear axle 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 4 children. 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 $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
• rear axle replacement (parts): $150
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope this works out for you. After 13 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Gaya
Looking forward to the next update. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Durgapur.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Jignesh. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
Best of luck, Jignesh. Hope you make a strong comeback. Sent it to 32 people at work
