Sharmin needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Dhaka

Sharmin drives for a living in Dhaka, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $210. 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 ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $210 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $135 • Labor charges: $35 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $35 • Towing and inspection: $5 I hope life is good to you. - Sharmin
