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

Without my school-run minibus Rima can't work; a $150 repair would put her 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 $150. 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 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 $150 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $80 • Labor charges: $25 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $25 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
