Help Jürgen replace the transmission and return to work
Jürgen's my pickup is Jürgen's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $1,200.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $1,200 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $900
• Labor charges: $110
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $110
• Towing and inspection: $80
Thank you for reading my story.
