Get Vusi back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Vusi drives for a living in Johannesburg, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the transmission 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 ten 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:
• transmission replacement (parts): $155
• Labor charges: $70
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
• Towing and inspection: $10
Glad we found this place.

Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't give up. Blessings
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thanks for sharing this. Small businesses are the heart of Johannesburg. Hope you're open again soon. Blessings!
thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Johannesburg!
