I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 2 children. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $250 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $20
• Labor charges: $50
• gearbox replacement (parts): $180
Every share and every dollar helps.

I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
this could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Hanoi this morning. Greetings from Hanoi.
good luck, Varun. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
