Get Aarón back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Without my pickup Aarón can't work; a $550 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 nine 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $550 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $320
• Labor charges: $105
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $95
• Towing and inspection: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

how is Aarón doing now?
thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Xalapa
so sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in București but we're thinking of you
rooting for you, Aarón. Small businesses are the heart of Xalapa. Hope you're open again soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
