Help Iván replace the rear axle and return to work
Iván's my pickup is Iván's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $400.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 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 $400 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $185
• Labor charges: $70
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $75
• Towing and inspection: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near San Cristóbal de las Casas.
Thank you. If you're in San Cristóbal de las Casas I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Los Angeles
So sorry you're going through this, Iván. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Marrakesh.
