Joy needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Wudil
Joy's my school-run minibus is Joy's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $150.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $150 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $70
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $15
• Towing and inspection: $35
Thanks for reading all this.
- Joy

Keep going, Joy. Hope you make a strong comeback. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. After 8 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Wudil.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from San Nicolás de los Garza.
