Help Shirin replace the gearbox and return to work
Shirin's my school-run minibus is Shirin's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $205.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $205. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $205 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $115
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $5
Every share and every dollar helps.
