Help Miguel replace the gearbox and return to work
Miguel drives for a living in Zapopan, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 younger brothers and sisters. 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 $550 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $380
• Labor charges: $70
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $40
Thank you for reading my story.
