Sayali needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Mumbai
Sayali drives for a living in Mumbai, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 nine 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 $100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Labor charges: $35
• Towing and inspection: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sayali.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. road tax and insurance renewal is the biggest at $30. It helps to be asked.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Zanzibar City.
Wishing you the best, Sayali. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted
Good luck, Sayali. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Coyoacán
Thanks for sharing this, Sayali. Hope you make a strong comeback. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
