I make my living with my delivery van. 3 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $300. 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 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 $300 goes: • rear axle replacement (parts): $230 • Towing and inspection: $20 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $50 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • How is Burak doing now?

    • Thanks for sharing this, Burak. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Burak

        • It's all in the list in the story. rear axle replacement (parts) is the big one at $230, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.

        This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Manila

        • Shared this with my family. After 18 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
