Lucas needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Los Angeles
Lucas's my delivery van is Lucas's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $2,000.

I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,000. 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 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 $2,000 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $130
• gearbox replacement (parts): $1,550
• Labor charges: $320

is there anything that isn't money that would help Lucas?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about road tax and insurance renewal, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Sending strength, Lucas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Hope it all works out, Lucas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Tallahassee.
Good luck, Lucas. Looking forward to the next update.
Wishing you peace, Lucas. 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. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Los Angeles
