My delivery van: Annelie's only way to earn a living
Annelie drives for a living in Bloemfontein, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 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 $300 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $25
• gearbox replacement (parts): $225
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
