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

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $200 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $120
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $10
With deep gratitude,
Ramesh

Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
