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. - Shirin
