Get Anand back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Anand's my school-run minibus is Anand's only source of income and needs an engine head gasket replacement costing $100.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Labor charges: $35
• Towing and inspection: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Anand
Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $25 so far, the plan for labor charges is now scheduled.

So sorry you're going through this, Anand. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Tarragona but we're thinking of you. Love from Tarragona.
