Get Kendall back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund

Without my school-run minibus Kendall can't work; a $1,850 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $1,850 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $1,150 • Labor charges: $320 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $270 • Towing and inspection: $110 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kendall?

    • Kendall J. ScottOwnerAnswer

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transmission replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.

  • I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.

    • is it paid to the mechanic directly?

      • Kendall J. ScottOwnerAnswer

        I get the payout and then pay the mechanic. Every payment goes in the updates. It helps to be asked.

    • It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 14 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      • What's already covered and what's the $1,850 for?

        • Kendall J. ScottOwnerAnswer

          Transmission replacement (parts) is $1,150 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.

      • Rooting for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Warsaw but we're thinking of you. Take care

        • Best of luck, Kendall. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Savar donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Savar

          • Thinking of you. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Jerusalem.

            • Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of Coventry. Hope you're open again soon. After 26 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
