Help Paisley replace the gearbox and return to work

Paisley drives for a living in Sacramento, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 6 weeks.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine 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 $1,050 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $530 • Labor charges: $160 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $200 • Towing and inspection: $160 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you

      Sending strength, Paisley. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care

      • Jonathan C. Salazar

        Thinking of you and your family, Paisley. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Sacramento.

            You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
