Ren needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Sakai
Ren drives for a living in Sakai, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 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 $1,500 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $920
• Labor charges: $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $195
• Towing and inspection: $115
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
