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.
