I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 eleven 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 $1,200 goes: • Towing and inspection: $140 • Labor charges: $240 • gearbox replacement (parts): $820 Thanks for being kind about this.

        Praying for you, Hudson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
