It's very pedantic, but I replaced 'due' with 'do'.

> The idiom meaning to manage to get along with the means available is make do, not make due. Make do is short for make [something] do well enough, where do carries the rare sense to serve a specified purpose. So this do is similar to the one used in sentences such as, “I could use a cup of coffee, but tea will do.” (http://grammarist.com/usage/make-do-make-due/)
