Help Rashid replace the gearbox and return to work

Without my school-run minibus Rashid can't work; a $150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 4 children. 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 $150 goes: • Towing and inspection: $10 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $20 • gearbox replacement (parts): $120 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Rashid
