Santiago needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in Riverside

Without my pickup Santiago can't work; a $2,150 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,150. 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 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 $2,150 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $1,300 • Labor charges: $420 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $260 • Towing and inspection: $170 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
