My delivery van: Jenny's only way to earn a living
Jenny drives for a living in Pasig, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 10 weeks.
🇵🇭 Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines1,047 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 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 $250 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $140
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $45
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace, Jenny. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Sending love, Jenny. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
