My school-run minibus: Eleanor's only way to earn a living

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 eleven 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,000 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $160 • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $660 • Labor charges: $180 Every share and every dollar helps. - Eleanor
