Help Katherine replace the transmission and return to work
Without my pickup Katherine can't work; a $500 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 eleven 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 $500 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $155
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $175
• Labor charges: $170
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
