Get Konstantinos back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Konstantinos drives for a living in Piraeus, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $900 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $550
• Labor charges: $180
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $90
• Towing and inspection: $80
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Zanzibar City.
How is Konstantinos doing now?
You're not alone, Konstantinos. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Buenos Aires but we're thinking of you
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Piraeus.
small businesses are the heart of Piraeus. Hope you're open again soon. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Ottawa.
