Help Mary Grace replace the rear axle and return to work

Without my ride-share car Mary Grace can't work; a $250 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 8 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 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 $250 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $185 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $45 • Towing and inspection: $20 If you're reading this, thank you. - Mary Grace
