I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,550 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $990 • Labor charges: $195 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $250 • Towing and inspection: $115 Thanks for being kind about this.

          • Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
