Get Raimundo back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Raimundo's my school-run minibus is Raimundo's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $550.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 nine 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 $550 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $310
• Labor charges: $105
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $105
• Towing and inspection: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there, Raimundo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
take care, Raimundo. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Gangnam
Hope things get better soon. Small businesses are the heart of São Paulo. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
