Get Nur back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Nur's my delivery van is Nur's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $550.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye2,131 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 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 $550 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $410
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Nur
Good news. Because of your gifts ($311 in total) I made the first payment toward labor charges. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $69 so far, I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.

Sending love, Nur. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Brampton.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Hope you make a strong comeback. Sent it to 19 people at work. Thinking of Istanbul.
Hope things get better soon, Nur. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Sending strength, Nur. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Surrey.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Praying for you, Nur. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Mumbai
Wishing you peace. Small businesses are the heart of Istanbul. Hope you're open again soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
praying for you, Nur. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Thinking of you and your family, Nur. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
