I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Labor charges: $250
• Towing and inspection: $100
• transmission replacement (parts): $1,200
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Hang in there, Lucas. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
wishing you the best, Lucas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Brescia.
Sending strength, Lucas. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
