Help Carla replace the gearbox and return to work
Without my delivery van Carla can't work; a $350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 three 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 $350 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $40
• gearbox replacement (parts): $240
• Labor charges: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Kyiv.
