Get Isla back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Isla's my pickup is Isla's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,200.

I make my living with my pickup. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,200. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $640
• Labor charges: $170
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $310
• Towing and inspection: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

so sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
