Get Tyler back on the road: my pickup repair fund

Without my pickup Tyler can't work; a $1,850 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,850. 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 nine 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,850 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $1,100 • Labor charges: $360 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $230 • Towing and inspection: $160 Thank you so much. - Tyler
