Eugene needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Jacksonville
Without my delivery van Eugene can't work; a $600 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $600 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• Labor charges: $310
• Towing and inspection: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Jacksonville.
Sending good thoughts, Eugene. Small businesses are the heart of Jacksonville. Hope you're open again soon
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Eugene. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Albany donated after I showed her your page.
Thanks for sharing this, Eugene. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
so sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Thinking of you, Eugene. Hope you make a strong comeback. Sent it to 36 people at work. Love from Freiburg.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Yekaterinburg donated after I showed her your page. God bless
