My school-run minibus: Mulugeta's only way to earn a living
Without my school-run minibus Mulugeta can't work; a $100 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 3 weeks ago the gearbox 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $100 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $10
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Labor charges: $60

Sending good thoughts, Mulugeta. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Hamilton donated after I showed her your page. All the best
thanks for sharing this, Mulugeta. Shared this with my family.
