Noreen needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Faisalabad

Noreen drives for a living in Faisalabad, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the gearbox 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $150 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 • gearbox replacement (parts): $100 • Towing and inspection: $10 Thanks for reading all this.
