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

Without my school-run minibus Malak can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $350 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $220 • Labor charges: $25 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $65 • Towing and inspection: $40 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Malak

  1. Quick update: $146 raised so far (42%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 36% funded and I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Quick update: $71 raised so far (20%). the plan for labor charges is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
