Get Evelyn back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Evelyn's my school-run minibus is Evelyn's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $1,100.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom852 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 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 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 $1,100 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $135
• Labor charges: $270
• transmission replacement (parts): $695
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Osaka.
