I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $150 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $75
• Labor charges: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $25
• Towing and inspection: $15
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Githinji.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. gearbox replacement (parts) comes first ($75) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Hope things get better soon, Githinji. This could happen to any of us. Love from Sukkur
