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

Without my school-run minibus Zakaria can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the suspension 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 4 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $200 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $110 • Labor charges: $40 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 • Towing and inspection: $15 If you're reading this, thank you.
