Get Valentina back on the road: my school-run minibus repair fund
Without my school-run minibus Valentina can't work; a $500 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 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 four 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): $360
• Labor charges: $55
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Santos.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Depok.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Brooklyn.
Hope it all works out, Valentina. Hope you make a strong comeback. I'll check back for the next update
Hang in there, Valentina. Looking forward to the next update!
Hang in there. Hope you make a strong comeback. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Thanks for sharing this, Valentina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 17 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
sending love. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Santos.
