Help Vivian replace the rear axle and return to work
Vivian drives for a living in Swansea, and a broken rear axle has stopped all income for 8 weeks.

I make my living with my food truck. 8 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 wife and our newborn. 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 $1,350 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $710
• Labor charges: $330
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $135
• Towing and inspection: $175
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless
