Beau needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Perth
Without my school-run minibus Beau can't work; a $1,750 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,750 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $200
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,150
• Labor charges: $400
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I hope things turn around soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Chennai!
