Help Hải replace the rear axle and return to work
Hải's my pickup is Hải's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,500.
🇺🇸 United States2,120 views
I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Labor charges: $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $330
• rear axle replacement (parts): $900
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

How is Hải doing now?
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
shared it with a few friends. Thinking of St. Petersburg.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near St. Petersburg
Thank you. If you're in St. Petersburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Small businesses are the heart of St. Petersburg. Hope you're open again soon.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hải
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. labor charges is the biggest at $270.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of St. Petersburg.
Take care, Hải. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of St. Petersburg
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of St. Petersburg.
So sorry you're going through this, Hải. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Los Angeles.
Thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Depok but we're thinking of you. Take care
Praying for you. Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Nakuru!
Thinking of you, Hải. Small businesses are the heart of St. Petersburg. Hope you're open again soon. All the best.
shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Patna so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Makati.
