Xue needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in El Paso
Without my pickup Xue cannot work; a $1,900 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Labor charges: $120
• transmission replacement (parts): $1,550
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $230
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Xue.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. labor charges is the biggest at $120. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you, Xue. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Ahmedabad.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Gwagwalada this morning. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of El Paso.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

Good luck, Xue. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Love from San Jose!
