Help Krishna replace the gearbox and return to work
Krishna drives for a living in Houston, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 12 weeks.
🇺🇸 United States1,493 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $650 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $145
• Labor charges: $320
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Rooting for you, Krishna. Hope you make a strong comeback. After 26 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
