Help Jose replace the rear axle and return to work
Jose's my pickup is Jose's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $700.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $700 goes:
• Labor charges: $220
• Towing and inspection: $160
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $320
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Jose
Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($150). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 13% funded and I made the first payment toward labor charges.
