My school-run minibus: Joshua's only way to earn a living
Joshua's my school-run minibus is Joshua's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $100.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Labor charges: $35
• Towing and inspection: $25
With deep gratitude,
Joshua
