Get Noah back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Noah drives for a living in Birmingham, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 twelve 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 $1,500 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $860
• Labor charges: $280
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
• Towing and inspection: $150
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
