My pickup: Tian's only way to earn a living
Without my pickup Tian can't work; a $1,200 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 1 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,200 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $130
• gearbox replacement (parts): $870
• Labor charges: $200
Thanks for reading all this.
