Get Danielle back on the road: my pickup repair fund

Without my pickup Danielle can't work; a $1,950 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,950 goes: • Towing and inspection: $115 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $350 • gearbox replacement (parts): $1,485 Thanks for reading all this.

    Good luck. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
