I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 six 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 $650 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $135
• Labor charges: $340
• Towing and inspection: $175
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Greensboro.
Small businesses are the heart of Greensboro. Hope you're open again soon.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. After 13 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best, Ruth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
