Help Zeynep replace the gearbox and return to work
Zeynep's my delivery van is Zeynep's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $1,500.

I make my living with my delivery van. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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 twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $1,500 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $780
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
• Towing and inspection: $190
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon. Hope the shop reopens soon. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
wishing you the best, Zeynep. Hope you make a strong comeback. Please keep us posted
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Hamburg
Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Hamburg.
So sorry you're going through this, Zeynep. Hope you make a strong comeback. Please keep us posted. Love from Kochi
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I hope May is when things finally get easier. God bless
