Renata needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Bucaramanga
Without my school-run minibus Renata can't work; a $300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 5 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 wife and our newborn. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $300 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $200
• Labor charges: $50
• Towing and inspection: $50
I hope life is good to you.

Take care, Renata. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Vitória da Conquista this morning. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Renata. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Aurangabad.
Stay strong, Renata. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Best of luck, Renata. Hope you get there. Sent it to 31 people at work. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Renata. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Blessings
Praying for you, Renata. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Sending strength, Renata. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Best of luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. My husband and I read this together. Love from London.
Hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of Bucaramanga. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Kyiv.
