My delivery van: Ruslan's only way to earn a living

Without my delivery van Ruslan can't work; a $350 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 7 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 2 children. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $350 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $155 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $100 • Labor charges: $95 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
