I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 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 $450 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $240
• Towing and inspection: $110
• Labor charges: $100
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you, Heike. Shared this with my family. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Dortmund.
you're not alone, Heike. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't give up. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
