Help Amit replace the gearbox and return to work
Without my school-run minibus Amit can't work; a $350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $350 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $210
• Labor charges: $60
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $40
Thank you for reading my story.
