Help Beatriz replace the rear axle and return to work
Beatriz drives for a living in Duque de Caxias, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 12 weeks.

I make my living with my motorbike. 12 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 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 $350 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $160
• Labor charges: $45
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $95
• Towing and inspection: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($80 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Beatriz
