Get Cem back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Cem's my pickup is Cem's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $350.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 ten 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 $350 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $75
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
