Get Maëlle back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Maëlle's my delivery van is Maëlle's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $1,450.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,450. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $1,450 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $900
• Labor charges: $210
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
• Towing and inspection: $130
With deep gratitude,
Maëlle

You're not alone, Maëlle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Montpellier
good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
