Sofia needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Latina
Without my school-run minibus Sofia can't work; a $1,300 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $1,300 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,050
• Labor charges: $120
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $90
• Towing and inspection: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Sofia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
