I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $300 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $200 • Labor charges: $45 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $30 • Towing and inspection: $25 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Kristine
