My pickup: Leo's only way to earn a living

Leo drives for a living in Anaheim, and a broken gearbox has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $500. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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. I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update. Where the $500 goes: • Labor charges: $150 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $190 • Towing and inspection: $160 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
