I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 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 $150 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Labor charges: $70
• Towing and inspection: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Dwarka
you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 17 people at work. God bless.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Södertälje.
Rooting for you. Small businesses are the heart of Niterói. Hope you're open again soon. It's not much but it's yours.
Take care, Luana. Hope the shop reopens soon.
