Help Regina replace the transmission and return to work

Regina drives for a living in Santa Fe, and a broken transmission has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

🇦🇷 3003, Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Argentina1,330 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 eleven 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 $400 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $270 • Labor charges: $60 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $60 • Towing and inspection: $10 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • Keep going, Regina. Shared this with my family. God bless.

    • Rooting for you, Regina. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
