Help Citlali replace the gearbox and return to work
Without my delivery van Citlali can't work; a $1,000 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 4 children. 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 $1,000 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $790
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
• Labor charges: $130
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you, Citlali. Hope the shop reopens soon. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Citlali. Hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Porto Alegre but we're thinking of you. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Citlali. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
