Help Jackson replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my food truck Jackson cannot work; a $1,800 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,800. 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 1 children. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,400
• Labor charges: $125
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $170
• Towing and inspection: $105
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jackson?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rear axle replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Thanks for sharing this, Jackson. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too
