Save My Livelihood; Help Me Get A Transmission

Donation protected
My 2003 Dodge Durango needs a remanufactured transmission.  I don't have the savings for it. I have another vehicle I can use, but it is not a four-wheel drive. I deliver newspapers every night. It is how I help support my husband, Carl, who is disabled from a series of strokes. If I can't get the transmission before we get serious snow, I will lose my job. I deliver to Mound House, Silver City, Gold Hill, Virginia City and the Virginia City Highlands. My other car is a 1996 front-wheel drive rattletrap sedan.  It can't drive in the Highlands in the snow. It will take me maybe 6 months to save for a transmission; by then I will have lost my job because I can't complete deliveries.  Last year, because of Carl's illnesses, I had to quit my job  to care for him, and couldn't work again until June. It was a massive struggle. I don't want to go through that again. I need this job, one that no one else seems to want. If I can't do it, my subscribers will have to get their newspaper in the mail, 2 days late. I know this is a platform for donations, but if donors leave their names, I will pay them back. It might take awhile, but I will do it.  I just have to have the Durango back before the serious snow flies. Please help me take care of Carl. I will pay everyone who donates back within a year. I tried getting a loan, but was turned down due to not having the job for a long enough time.
