Brian's my school-run minibus is Brian's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $210.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the transmission 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 3 children. 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:
• transmission replacement (parts): $135
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $5
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
