Help Theodore replace the transmission and return to work
Without my delivery van Theodore can't work; a $750 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $750. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $750 goes:
• Labor charges: $340
• Towing and inspection: $125
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $285
