Help Matthew replace the rear axle and return to work
Matthew's my delivery van is Matthew's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,350.

I make my living with my delivery van. 6 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $730
• Labor charges: $340
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $175
• Towing and inspection: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
