Help Alberto replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my ride-share car Alberto can't work; a $650 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 six 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 $650 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $180
• Labor charges: $290
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $180
Every share and every dollar helps.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Sacramento!
Thank you. If you're in Sacramento I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Sacramento
shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Love from Hamilton.
stay strong, Alberto. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Rooting for you, Alberto. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Good luck, Alberto. Shared this with my family
Thinking of you, Alberto. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
