Get Oshan back on the road: my delivery van repair fund

Without my delivery van Oshan can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 ten 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 $200 goes: โ€ข transmission replacement (parts): $155 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $25 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 Every share and every dollar helps.
