Get Owen back on the road: my delivery van repair fund
Owen drives for a living in Memphis, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 7 weeks.
🇺🇸 Memphis, Tennessee, United States353 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $740
• Labor charges: $220
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $200
• Towing and inspection: $140
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
