My delivery van: Abigail's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van Abigail can't work; a $1,000 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,000. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $470
• Labor charges: $250
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $190
• Towing and inspection: $90
I hope life is good to you.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Greensboro.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about gearbox replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
You're not alone, Abigail. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Niterói.
