I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $350 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $240
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is gearbox replacement (parts) the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Gearbox replacement (parts) is $240 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
So sorry you're going through this, Trinh. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
