My delivery van: Josephine's only way to earn a living
Josephine's my delivery van is Josephine's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $1,600.
🇺🇸 San Antonio, Texas, United States1,779 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,600. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $1,600 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $930
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $330
• Labor charges: $340
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

take care, Josephine. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of San Antonio.
Wishing you the best, Josephine. Hope you get there.
Hope it all works out, Josephine. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Small businesses are the heart of San Antonio. Hope you're open again soon.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you make a strong comeback. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Love from Vigo
wishing you peace, Josephine. Hope you get there. All the best!
