Help Makoto replace the rear axle and return to work
Makoto drives for a living in Yokohama, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 3 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,550. 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $1,200
• Towing and inspection: $115
• Labor charges: $235
With deep gratitude,
Makoto

Sending good thoughts. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
good luck. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope things get better soon, Makoto. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Yokohama
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Jakarta
Wishing you peace, Makoto. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
