Help Rocío replace the rear axle and return to work

Rocío drives for a living in Valencia, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 4 weeks.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,050 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $780 • Labor charges: $210 • Towing and inspection: $60 Every share and every dollar helps.

          sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Valencia.

            stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Barranquilla donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
