Help Claire replace the transmission and return to work

Without my pickup Claire can't work; a $1,150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 eleven 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $1,150 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $680 • Labor charges: $150 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $190 • Towing and inspection: $130 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
