I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,850 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $1,400
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $260
• Labor charges: $190
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Lourdes. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Anaheim!
Stay strong, Lourdes. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update.
Rooting for you, Lourdes. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up.
