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

Without my school-run minibus Slamet can't work; a $300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 $300 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $200 • Labor charges: $50 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • Towing and inspection: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Recife so I could bring a meal. Take care
