I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,100 goes: โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $160 โ€ข rear axle replacement (parts): $770 โ€ข Labor charges: $170 Thank you for reading my story. - Christian
