Help Mia replace the rear axle and return to work
Mia's my pickup is Mia's only source of income and needs a rear axle replacement costing $1,150.

I make my living with my pickup. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 nine 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 $1,150 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $100
• rear axle replacement (parts): $830
• Labor charges: $220
Every share and every dollar helps.
