Hatem needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Fresno
Without my school-run minibus Hatem can't work; a $850 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $850. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $850 goes:
• Labor charges: $450
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $240
• Towing and inspection: $160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Hatem. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
so sorry you're going through this, Hatem. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Hatem. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Hatem. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
