Get Onur back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Onur drives for a living in Gaziantep, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $400 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $220
• Labor charges: $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
• Towing and inspection: $20
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Praying for you, Onur. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings!
Sending strength, Onur. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Gaziantep
