Help Jorge replace the transmission and return to work
Without my delivery van Jorge can't work; a $200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $200 goes:
• Labor charges: $100
• Towing and inspection: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $65
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Jorge. Small businesses are the heart of Salvador. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
