My delivery van: Gabriella's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van Gabriella can't work; a $1,050 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 $1,050. 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 eleven 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 $1,050 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $700
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $160
• Labor charges: $190
I hope life is good to you.
