Get Özlem back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Özlem's my school-run minibus is Özlem's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $500.
🇹🇷 Türkiye990 views
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $500 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $410
• Towing and inspection: $15
• Labor charges: $75

take care, Özlem. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Sending strength, Özlem. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
keep going, Özlem. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
praying for you, Özlem. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Istanbul.
