Get Brooks back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Without my pickup Brooks can't work; a $2,000 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,000. 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 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 $2,000 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,000
• Labor charges: $470
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $360
• Towing and inspection: $170
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, Brooks. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update.
Praying for you, Brooks. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Ribeirão Preto donated after I showed her your page. Love from Ribeirão Preto.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Oakland.
Best of luck. Small businesses are the heart of Los Angeles. Hope you're open again soon.
