My delivery van: Abdul's only way to earn a living

I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 nine 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $200 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $160 • Towing and inspection: $15 • Labor charges: $25 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Abdul

      Shared this with my family. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
