My pickup: Susana's only way to earn a living
Susana's my pickup is Susana's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $1,550.

I make my living with my pickup. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $1,550 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $125
• Labor charges: $280
• transmission replacement (parts): $1,145
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
