I make my living with my pickup. 12 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 family of five. 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 $1,400 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $770
• Labor charges: $240
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $270
• Towing and inspection: $120
Thanks for reading all this.

Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($107). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward towing and inspection.

Thinking of you and your family, Carlos. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Rooting for you, Carlos. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Hải Phòng so I could bring a meal.
