Help Joshua replace the transmission and return to work
Without my pickup Joshua can't work; a $1,300 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 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 family of five. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $530
• Labor charges: $410
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $290
• Towing and inspection: $70
Thanks for reading all this.
