Suren needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Ekurhuleni
Suren drives for a living in Ekurhuleni, and a broken fuel pump has stopped all income for 10 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the fuel pump 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $95
• Labor charges: $75
• Towing and inspection: $30
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace, Suren. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope you make a strong comeback. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Chattanooga.
hope things get better soon, Suren. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope things get better soon, Suren. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Ekurhuleni
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Sheffield
take care, Suren. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Muzaffarpur
So sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Take care. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Ekurhuleni
