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

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $250 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $155
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $20
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope you get there. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Taguig!
Thinking of you, Jericho. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Quezon City
Rooting for you, Jericho. Looking forward to the next update.
So sorry you're going through this, Jericho. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
