I make my living with my pickup. 3 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $250 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $135 • Labor charges: $45 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $30 • Towing and inspection: $40 Thank you so much. - Peace

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Peace.

    • Sending strength, Peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

      • Take care, Peace. Hope this works out for you.

          Hope it all works out, Peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
