Get Addison back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Addison's my delivery van is Addison's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $1,050.
🇦🇺 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia738 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 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 $1,050 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $570
• Labor charges: $185
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $240
• Towing and inspection: $55
With deep gratitude,
Addison
Updates from Addison
Good news. Because of your gifts ($20 in total) I made the first payment toward labor charges. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Melbourne: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
