Istanbul

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $405. 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 twelve 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $405 goes: • Labor charges: $110 • gearbox replacement (parts): $290 • Towing and inspection: $5 I hope life is good to you.
