Help Joaquim replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my ride-share car Joaquim can't work; a $500 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $500 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $380
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $55
• Labor charges: $65
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Joaquim
Small update. $43 so far, I made the first payment toward road tax and insurance renewal.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 9% funded and I made the first payment toward rear axle replacement.
6% there. I made the first payment toward rear axle replacement. Thank you.
