Help Vignesh replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my food truck Vignesh can't work; a $250 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my food truck. 5 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $250 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $160
• Labor charges: $40
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $20
I hope life is good to you.
