Get Svetlana back on the road: my pickup repair fund
Without my pickup Svetlana can't work; a $405 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $405. 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 twelve 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 $405 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $270
• Labor charges: $85
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $45
• Towing and inspection: $5
Every share and every dollar helps.

wishing you peace, Svetlana. Small businesses are the heart of Moscow. Hope you're open again soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you the best, Svetlana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Stay strong, Svetlana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Moscow.
