Get Armando back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Without my pickup Armando cannot work; a $450 repair would put him back on the road.
🇦🇷 Santa Fe, Argentina275 views
I make my living with my pickup. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 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 $450 goes:
• Labor charges: $65
• rear axle replacement (parts): $350
• Towing and inspection: $35
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Armando
Small update. $110 so far, the plan for labor charges is now scheduled.
Update from Santa Fe: I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Thinking of you and your family, Armando. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Xalapa.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Mombasa.
Wishing you the best, Armando. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Santa Fe.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you make a strong comeback. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Hang in there, Armando. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best
