Help Skylar replace the gearbox and return to work

Without my ride-share car Skylar can't work; a $1,550 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 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 $1,550 goes: โ€ข gearbox replacement (parts): $1,100 โ€ข Labor charges: $165 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $200 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $85 Thanks for reading all this.
