My school-run minibus: Pınar's only way to earn a living

Pınar drives for a living in Gaziantep, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $400 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $260 • Labor charges: $65 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $30 • Towing and inspection: $45 Thanks for being kind about this.

    You're not alone, Pınar. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!

      Wishing you the best. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. God bless.

          thinking of you and your family. Hope you make a strong comeback. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Addis Ababa.

              Thinking of you, Pınar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
