Salvador needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Iztapalapa
Without my pickup Salvador cannot work; a $450 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 nine 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $450 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $280
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Towing and inspection: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 13 people at work.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Salvador?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transmission replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Best of luck. Hope the shop reopens soon. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Iztapalapa.
Small businesses are the heart of Iztapalapa. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in New Delhi but we're thinking of you.
Stay strong, Salvador. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Iztapalapa.
