Help Mathilda replace the gearbox and return to work

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the gearbox 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 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 $1,200 goes: • Road tax and insurance renewal: $130 • Towing and inspection: $90 • gearbox replacement (parts): $980 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Mathilda
