Help Sevgi replace the gearbox and return to work
Sevgi drives for a living in The Hague, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 8 weeks.
🇳🇱 The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands1,523 views
I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $640
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $140
• Towing and inspection: $70
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sevgi
Gearbox replacement (parts) is $640 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Sending strength, Sevgi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Quezon City.
Thinking of you, Sevgi. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Osaka.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
Hang in there, Sevgi. Looking forward to the next update.
Wishing you peace, Sevgi. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
hang in there, Sevgi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Thinking of you, Sevgi. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of The Hague
stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
