Help Karin replace the gearbox and return to work
Without my delivery van Karin can't work; a $1,700 repair would put her back on the road.
🇳🇱 The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands1,710 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,700. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $1,400
• Labor charges: $110
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $135
• Towing and inspection: $55
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Karin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of The Hague.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
