Help Chloe replace the transmission and return to work
Chloe drives for a living in Tampa, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 12 weeks ago the transmission 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 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 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:
• transmission replacement (parts): $520
• Labor charges: $310
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
• Towing and inspection: $200
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
