Help Maximilian replace the transmission and return to work
Maximilian drives for a living in Frankfurt, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 8 weeks.
🇩🇪 Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany1,517 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $450 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $125
• Towing and inspection: $170
• Labor charges: $155
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

you're not alone, Maximilian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from San Antonio.
Sending love, Maximilian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
