Help Woo-jin replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my pickup Woo-jin can't work; a $900 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 10 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $900 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $470
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $210
• Towing and inspection: $105

Updates from Woo-jin
Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($150). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the mechanic and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $237 so far, we've started the first stage.
Update from Gangnam: the plan for rear axle replacement is now scheduled. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
