My school-run minibus: Kwasi's only way to earn a living
Without my school-run minibus Kwasi can't work; a $250 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 $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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $165
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you, Kwasi. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Ekurhuleni so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Pasig
